Java Applet Embed plugin for WordPress

======================================



Description

-----------

Allows you to insert Java applets into your Wordpress blog.



If you've ever tried to embed a Java applet in a post or page by inserting

your usual `` or `` tags, you would have noticed that

WordPress doesn't recognize the tags and the tags disappear. This plugin

supports new shortcodes permitting WordPress to recognize and properly render

the applets.



You can choose among three possible display modes:



1. Inline, loaded immediately

2. Inline, loaded only when the user clicks. This one is great for letting

   your visitors control whether to load the JVM or not.

3. Popup window, loaded only when the user clicks



You can reference your JAR archive with any full URL, even on another web

site.  And you can even upload the JAR into WordPress using the Media

Library and then reference the JAR file as you would any other image, video,

or audio.



Thanks to the integration of Oracle’s [Deployment

Toolkit](http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html#deplToolkit)

, it works for multiple types of browsers and can offer to download the Java

Plug-in (this probably needs more testing) or update it if the required JVM

version doesn’t match (this feature hasn’t yet been implemented but it easily

could be, if there is demand.)



It is based on the great work done by

[ahmattox](http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/ahmattox/) on his

[WordPress Processing Embed](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-processing-embed/).

In fact, it works almost exactly the same way and offers the same features.



For more details, including screenshots,

see the plugin's [page at wordpress.org](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/java-applet-embed/screenshots/).
