Detect Java version

[RMastop]

Hi,

I would like to suggest to detect the running version of Java, as a part of plugin detection.
You could use the JavaScript parts of deployJava.js from java.

<script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script>
     var versions = deployJava.getJREs();
     alert(versions);
</script>

Hi @RMastop

Thanks for suggestion. Requesting from Java the Java version used to actually load Java in the browser and this used to be slow (years ago). maybe this has changed and now it's "cheaper" to get the Java version.
