Description
The npjava* DLLs basically provide MIME type information to the browser. The reason for their existence is an historical limit on the MIME type length in Windows 98. Since we no longer support Windows 98 it should be possible to fold them all into one DLL, saving considerable size in the Java Kernel core download.

Comments
EVALUATION Closing this as a duplicate of 6536118 (RFE: keep only one dll for multi verions & obsolete all other npjava*.dll) and taking ownership of that other bug.
