Is it going to have support in ESR 59 to support Java Applet?
Hello, I developed a financial application. I know that until Q1-2018 ESR52 will support Java. I would like to know if there is any chance that ESR 59 will support the Java applet.
Thks.

Besides even Oracle is discontinuing their NPAPI Java Plugin as of Java 9 but is still supported with Java 8.
Support for Java applets has been removed in Firefox 53
Support for the Java plugin and the Java applet in a browser window is dropped, so you can no longer embed Java in a web page. Websites will have to use Java Web Start to launch a Java application in an external standalone window instead of using an applet to open this embedded in a web page. Websites that want to use Java need to adapt and make the change to this way to launch a Java application.
A Java Web Start JNLP file is basically a XML file that the server sends as application/x-java-jnlp-file and that is opened by the default application for this MIME type (Java Web Start). Java then handles everything on its own, but there is no longer embedding possible like a plugin offers. Java registers this MIME type when you install the Java program.
