Thank you for your interest in the Java Plugin for IRIX Java2. We are
making a developer release available to a small set of users who have
specifically requested it on our java2-beta-comments list. 

We encourage you to try it out and give us some feedback before we can make 
it more generally available. We will appreciate your feedback. 

Thank you for your interest and participation.

We have mostly tested this with our Java2 developer release on IRIX 6.5.
