JDK-7105285 - BrowserJavaVersion key is not created for 64 bit JRE
Description
It seems that implementation of isPlugin2() always check for UseNewJavaPlugin under 1.7.0 key in the registry.
Should be looking under 10.0.*
Comments
EVALUATION problem: isPlugin2() always return false with JRE 7 or above. it is using JRE version to check for whether plugin is enabled. it will not work starting with JRE 7 because JRE version and deploy (plugin) version is not the same anymore. fix: use BrowserJavaVersion key instead - this is better since it tells you the current default plugin version that is registered to browser.
