Java end-user applications, often deployed through methods like Java Applets and Java Web Start, have played a crucial role in various applications and products. However, with the deprecation of Java Applets and the Java Plugin, enterprises need help accessing their existing Java Applet-based applications on modern web browsers, such as Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Java Applets, once a go-to solution for embedding Java content within web pages, have faced obsolescence due to the deprecation of the Java Plugin and lack of support for NPAPI architecture in modern browsers. Despite this, numerous organizations, especially those operating in back-office spaces, rely heavily on Java Applets, in the form of Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Forms, for critical applications.
