To run Java applets on Mac and Windows in Chrome, one has to enable NPAPI starting with Chrome Version 42 and later. Developers and System administrators looking for alternative ways to support users of Chrome should see this blog, in particular “Running Web Start applications outside of a.

The actions of the Internet services developer have been highly influential in various sectors of technological innovation. The company followed rival tech firm. Google’s acquisition of Android. Many former Google employees have left that company and like , , Instagram and others. The multinational tech company has also proven to be adept at political influence;, and in 2013 Google was in fifth place.
Tech decisions made by this company can often herald important trends in the market. That’s one reason why could signal a much more diminished role for Java, once a very popular programming language for Internet applications. NPAPI is a cross-platform architecture for enabling browser plugins and means that as NPAPI leaves the Chrome system, so will the ability to run Java applications. Chrome representatives have stated on the browser’s official blog that removing NPAPI will increase security and speed for the browser while reducing the complexity of the system. As Chrome has expressed on its DevTools website, “. This change to the Chrome browser system is one of which U.S. Patent applicants will want to be aware because of its impacts to some of the digital resources made available by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office. Both, and, utilize Java programming script for authenticating users when they sign in to those services. The USPTO has posted guidance from computer technology corporation such as Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer to access these services in the future. Although default support of NPAPI architecture was disabled for Chrome browsers with, Chrome users will still be able to.
All a patent applicant hoping to use Chrome to access EFS-Web or Private PAIR would have to do is open their Chrome browser, type “chrome://flags/#enable-npapi” into the address bar and clicking the link titled “Enable” under the Enable NPAPI flag that appears. The Chrome browser will have to be restarted for the change to take effect., expected to be released in September of this year. It’s interesting to note that Java had been at the center of a legal dispute between Google and Oracle, which owns copyrights on certain aspects of the Java code. In that same year, Oracle sued Google,.
In May 2014, the Northern District of California issued a ruling on the case which. The case was remanded for further proceedings and is. Most recently, on the grounds that the case represents “a poor vehicle for the Court to address, for the first time, the application of copyright principles to computer programs.” It’s tough to say how much of a role, if any, this court case has played in Google’s decision to distance itself from Java on the Chrome platform. The company has been developing an alternative to NPAPI called which allows users to. This API architecture enables programming languages such as Flash which are utilized by web applications. Java has also suffered in recent years from a number of security breaches which has leveraged the ubiquitous nature of the programming language as well as vulnerabilities inherent in code imported into an API from third-party libraries.
Major tech corporations like Apple, Facebook, Twitter and have. Techniques such as which provides real-time analysis of application behavior for a more immediate response to any cyber attacks, have been. Still, data security concerns run so deep with Java that in January 2013, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued guidance to all computer users that because malicious coders have been able to take advantage of Java’s vulnerabilities so consistently. As the situation with the USPTO’s online resources points out, however, there are some issues that make it impossible for certain Internet users to totally part with Java., including and the.
Businesses, organizations and individuals looking to access those tools will need to do so with a browser other than Chrome. The Java issue is compounded on Chromebooks, the lightweight notebook computers which run an operating system based on the Chrome browser., which is not designed to run executable software programs. It is possible, however, which is itself based upon Linux.
Ubuntu and other Linux-based OS environments are. CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post erroneously named Oracle as a RASP developer, not Waratek.
However, Waratek developed RASP based on Oracle’s Java code. David Stein June 30, 2015 9:32 am The USPTO has posted guidance from computer technology corporation Oracle Corporation recommending the use of alternative browsers such as Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer to access these services in the future. I’ve never been able to get either Private PAIR or the Dashboard to work in Firefox. (Private PAIR refuses to open the “Select File” dialog in order to select a PKI certificate. Dashboard absolutely refuses to load – it’s simply.not there. when you load the page in Firefox – extremely confusing.) My solution to date has been to use Chrome. So, yes, this is a problem.
Feigin, Patent Lawyer June 30, 2015 12:41 pm Google Chrome disabled Java in Linux a while ago so I’ve been dealing with this issue for some time. I ended up switching to Firefox for Private Pair then I realized, “hey, this isn’t the same Firefox I remember! It have everything Chrome has only it’s actually the less bloated browser now. When did that happen?” So I ended up switching back to Firefox entirely. I suggest everyone send a note to the USPTO and ask them to stop using Java – there is no reason you should have to load 220 megabytes into memory simply to upload a file and enter a password to login.
They could do this with basic HTML and accomplish the same thing. TF June 30, 2015 3:55 pm You wrote that certain websites “utilize Java programming script for authenticating users” when the more accurate characterization is that certain websites “utilize compiled Java code for authenticating users.” Java and JavaScript are two different technologies that share little more than similarities in name and syntax. Also note that some court websites also require Java support. One such court is the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which handles all patent appeals including the Oracle v. Google appeal.
With waning support for internet artifacts like the Java browser plugin, some users might be stuck with the need to run legacy apps that require it. The options to run Java apps are few and far between these days. Yet it is still possible to use the world’s to run the world’s. The two don’t play very well together, so Java support in Google Chrome requires a simple intermediary. Google embarked on its path to like Java back in September 2013. Linux users first when Google released Chrome 35 in April 2014, pushing them to alternative browsers like Firefox. Soon thereafter, Google existing NPAPI-based apps and extensions in the.
By April 2015, Chrome 42 disabled Java by default, and then Chrome 44 removed the best workaround available at the time in November that same year. The Chrome Web Store unpublished apps and extensions that required NPAPI plugins and that was that. Java support in Google Chrome using the IE Tab extension.
One method to use Java in Google Chrome is to install the extension. The “IE” in IE Tab is an abbreviation for Internet Explorer. Available for Chrome from the, IE Tab emulates Internet Explorer within a Chrome browser window.
The extension uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine to display Java content (as well as ActiveX and Silverlight content). It is easy to install, and even easier to use. It is important to note that IE Tab works on Windows only. Visit the in the Chrome Web Store. Click the blue Add To Chrome button.
A dialog will display asking you if you want to Add IE Tab, accompanied by a list of functions it can perform. Click the Add extension button.
Java Web Start, No Browser Required If you have the Java plugin on your Windows machine, then you have Java Web Start (JWS). The question is does the Java application you want to run use JWS technology? JWS launches automatically if you download a Java app that uses it (usually in the form of a.jnlp file). Check the Java app developer’s website to see if they have a JWS download link for their app. If they do, download it and save a shortcut on your desktop when prompted by JWS. Double-click the shortcut to run the app.
Also included with JWS is a Java Cache Viewer. Use Cache Viewer to launch applications you have already downloaded. Here’s how: 1. Launch the Java Control Panel ( Control Panel Programs Java icon). Double-click the Java icon.
Under the General tab, click the View button in the Temporary Internet Files section to launch the Java Cache Viewer in a separate window. Double-click an application listed in the Java Cache Viewer to launch it without needing a web browser.
If the Java app you want to use is not listed or does not launch when double-clicked, contact the app’s developer.
