Which JVM am I using?

843807Feb 12 2003 — edited Feb 13 2003
Hi all,
I'm working on testing some java code inside the browser. I've been using the MS JVM for a while, and I wanted test compatibility with the SUN JVM. I installed the 1.4.x J2RE and java plugin, and I expected the SUN magic to happen the next time I ran my app. No luck - when I bring up IE and login to my app server, it looks like it's all going through the MS VM.

Then I notice the IE option "Use Java 2 v1.4.1_01 for <applet>" as an option. It's checked on. Even when I bring up applets, there's no SUN love. My evidence is the fact that View|Java Console will show the MS console and the thread list refers to all of the stuff that I'm looking at.

The thing is, we're not using applets (as far as I know). All of the java code I'm working on are .class files I'm pulling into the browser in signed cabs, being invoked directly from client side HTML. No <applet> tags here.

So, my question - how do I ditch the MS JVM? For applets and for direct java calls?
