Description
we have developed JavaScript solutions for common deployment problems (see CR 6500417). 

a lot can be done with just JavaScript, but some significant things can NOT be done.

examples would be detecting update installed JRE versions, or detecting the running JRE (in
the browser).

so, we are proposing the development of browser plugins (an ActiveX object for IE, an NPAPI+ plugin
for Firefox) to augment what can be done using just pure JavaScript.
