New and Noteworthy

This chapter lists high-profile features in these releases.

Applet Plug-in Support for Private Browsing Mode

The Java applet plug-in now supports private browsing features provided by most modern web browsers. This includes the ability to clear the Java applet cache from the browser UI as well as disabling caching when running in a private session.

OS X v10.7 Lion Fullscreen Support

Java applications on Lion can now opt into the Fullscreen window feature per-window. Developers can use the com.apple.eawt.FullScreenUtilities class to mark windows as able to be full screened, and the com.apple.eawt.Application.requestToggleFullScreen(Window) method to programmatically request the window enter and exit full screen mode. This API does nothing on OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
