JWS apps don’t rely on a browser plugin, in many cases they can provide a migration path from Java Applets.

the pale moon browser roadmap says they will always support npapi

• http://www.palemoon.org/roadmap.shtml

Pale Moon supports NPAPI plug-ins. Unlike Firefox, we will not be deprecating or removing support for these kinds of plug-ins. This means that you will be able to continue using your media, authentication, and other plug-ins in Pale Moon like Flash, Silverlight, bank-authenticators or networking plug-ins for specific purposes.

IBM, Java and Oracle

IBM will now be working more closely with Oracle on the Java OpenJDK and OpenJDK will now be the official Java SE 7 Reference Implementation.

Also to further clarify the differences between the different Java’s:

• the OpenJDK source code remains under GPL.
• the source code for the Oracle JDK is slightly different from OpenJDK.
• the Oracle implementation (what you find on java.com or java.oracle.com) will remain under the BCL license only.
