The new draggable feature in Applet unifies user's browser and desktop experience -
The New Plug-In allows you to drag an Applet off from a browser to your desktop
and allows your Applet continues to run. In addition to dragging an Applet off from a browser, when user closes the
a shortcut can also be created from this draggable Applet. The shortcut utilizes Java Web Start
technology and allow user to launch the Applet with Java Web Start without
opening a web browser. Thus, this feature unifies desktop
application deployment via Java Web Start technology, and Applet deployment
inside the browser.

Java SE 6 Update 10 build 21 is now available
Java SE 6 Update 10 build 21 is now available!! Download it here.
Where are build 15-20? What did I miss? No worries. The build numbers 14-19 were reserved for beta candidates, and only 14 were used. Build 15-19 were never used; thus never existed. Build 20, however, does exist. Due to a minor delay, we have pushed build 20 and build 21 on the same day. Build 21 is now available on the 6u10 EA download page, and build 20 is put into the archive directly. All the bug fixes in build 20 are included in build 21. Therefore, you won't be missing any important fixes in b20. Here are the summary of changes for b20 and the summary of changes for b21. Send us your feedback:
