I think this is a good thing. Netscape amd Microsoft
have been getting beat up for years on the fact that
the JVM was married to the browser. Now you use a
plugin which makes it easy to upgrade the JVM without
having to buy the browser to do it. Sun has a plugin
for IE, so I don't see the big deal.
