will plugin2/web start code be part of jdk7 later?

[Stephen Bannasch]

This a great news ... but does anybody know why plugin2/web start is not part of the work.

I was looking forward to being able to fix some of the applet-related bugs I have reported.

I see on this project status page:

   http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenJDK/Mac+OS+X+Port+Project+Status

that Applets/Plugin2 and Web Start are not scoped to be part of this work because:

   'deploy' is not part of public JDK7"

I realize that this is not just a question for a macosx port ...

Does this mean that JDK7 for Mac OS X will not support applets/plugin2 or web start?

Is 'deploy' scheduled to be part of JDK7 at some later time?
