1. Chris's information is out-of-date

2. For the past several years, Sun has recommended that you only use the
ARCHIVE tag

3. .jar files specified in the ARCHIVE tag *will* be cached by the plug-in


Chris,

You are quoting the 1.3 documentation which is out of date.

The link to the current documentation is:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/applet_caching.html

It states:

--

Note

.jar files specified with the archive attribute also get cached in this
sticky cache.

The 1.3 documentation was written before the Java Plug-in could use the
APPLET tag. Subsequently, the Java Plug-in was modified to support the
APPLET tag under Internet Explorer, and the user could explicitly choose
whether to use the MSFT JVM or the Sun JVM. Java 1.4 was released in Feb
2002 and supported the APPLET tag.

Sun's recommendations are at:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/internet.html

It states:

With Internet Explorer it is recommended that you use the APPLET tag for
internet deployment.
...
With Netscape it is recommended that you use the APPLET tag for internet
deployment.
