What is the difference between Java Deployment Toolkit Plug-in and deployJava.js? -
i reading article:
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/deployment_toolkit.xml
and confused purpose , use of dt plug-in , deployjava.js.
i believe deployment toolkit set of functions of deployjava.js file (like link says: http://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/deployment_toolkit_101) according article there 2 parts of deployment toolkit: plug-in , interface developer.
i'm asking of because deployjava.js fails detect appropriate version of java in of machines of our users , wondering if dt plug-in improve detection, don't know how detects java version , when or how can use solve detection problems?
most of doubts driven question in article:
"does deployjava.js work if java dt toolkit plug-in disabled? yes, deployjava.js contains pure javascript functions, continue work if java dt toolkit plug-in disabled."
so... why need deployjava.js if dt plug-in exists or vice versa?
any on matter appreciated.
thank much.
if has doubts it, i've posted question in oracle forum , reply:
deployment toolkit combination of native library , javascript helpers. javascript official public api native library.
jre installed dt native library left on system if jre uninstalled. of dt native library available on windows.
javascript helper functions use native library if available many actions can performed (with degraded accuracy, etc.) if native library not present.
note there new javascript apis dt alternative deployjava.js. called [dtjava.js|http://download.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/deployment_toolkit.htm#babjheja] , primary api javafx applications. however, supports pure java apps , main js api dt going forward (some more testing , bug fixing may needed).
hope helps clarify relationship.
