Client side Java needs to go away
-
Seriously needs to go away...
-
You have no idea... we have some management consoles that require a specific version and some crazy work around before they work. Really frustrating.
-
I just dealt with something similar a few weeks back. To receive a secure document.....
Like seriously..... HOW?!
-
What on Bank Of America requires Java? I use several of their services including Banking & Privacy Assist and have never had to install java.
-
Secure document retrieval from email.

That's just ridiculous!! How many devices don't even support that anymore? Is there even a Java plugin for Chromebooks?

If there is one 'technology' that I consistently despise, it's client side Java.
It's like someone put swiss cheese into words and mixed it with refrigerated molasses.Not only is it full of holes but it's aggravatingly slow and sticky.

Nope. Google disabled java in chrome earlier this year. You could set a flag to allow it, but I think that was phased out sometime around September.

That's what I thought. This is becoming a rather serious challenge for anyone trying to actually use Java in a browser in any significant way.

Like older HP switches, etc. All of my 8 year old switches require Java

Old ilO too.

Silverlight, Java, and Unity are affected. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6213033?hl=en
Plugins that use PPAPI still work.

So basically Java on the client side is nearly gone, but not from the things that need to be accessed but from everything that needs to access them.

that's at least the desire - proving to not be the actual case though.

The ridiculously awful cable company that I've mentioned I worked for in FL used Calix for their infrastructure. It was managed by a Java app.
