accutally version number is 1.5, but they call it 5.0 to make it sound big

heaps of imporvements including opengl support

For developers get the JDK

for everyone else get the JRE (much smaller download)

Well they did call Java 1.4 "Java 2".

 

[jm1234567890]

java 1.2 was called Java 2

i expected 1.5 to be called java 3, but i guess they got greedy

acctually this is still java2 platform...

they really did just decided to skip from 1.4.2 to 5.0 :s

 

[jm1234567890]

the JRE should automatically detect mozilla and install plug-in for it...

i use firefox 1.0PR and it worked for me...

you mean when you are given the choice it only displayed internet explorer?
that is strange, try reinstalling firefox
