Yes, it's a _much_ bigger problem than generally realized.
1. No Java Plug-in = no Java 2 for browsers
2. No Java 2 for browsers = no Java 3D for browsers
3. No Java 3D for browsers = no 3D for the Web
We could have a big discussion about this last point,
including why VRML has not/will not succeed, and why
Java 3D will _IFF_ browsers would incorporate it.
However, this is not the forum for such a discussion.
Suffice it to say attitudes that downplay the importance
of Java Plug-in do not help.
Fortunately, Sun realizes the importance of Java Plug-in.
Their current lawsuit against MS is almost totally
for the purpose of ensuring Java Plug-in continues to
work with IE (which due to the MS desktop monopoly
currently has 80% of the browser marketshare).
