no there was no java runtime integration before and I guess its not on the feature list.

no the sites will open, its just some tools they use wont work and most of the time they have an old style replacement if its something really needed (not for games websiteclients)
I run once in a while in such a website (some sites you pay for what reason ever have such clients too, and thats nothing I want to start, on windows you might get your machine hijacked and thousands of popups). cause my desktop machines java webstart doesnt work atm, but that is nothing that worries me at all. its sites I wont surf to on my n900 nor on my desktop (well you never know what people do all day but honestly I dont care about JRE).

most of the websites work with flash javascript html php and cgi, php and cgi is something you dont even recognize as the server does that on his side, what you on the user side will see is flash html and javascript. flash is still a pain on some 64bit distributions and is truely a "hot" on the maemo userspace.


oh no I just recognized that one of my fav programs on the web is java! nothing scary its just a tool to view equirectangular pictures as 3D... thats something I use for testing my own pics and those I wont render on the n900 (not enough juice, a P4 allready takes 3 hours for it)
