According to my Google search results, a 64-bit Sun Java plug-in has |
| 23 |
been provided starting with Java SE 6 Update 12 Build 02. You should |

be able to select your preferred plug-in and virtual machine using |
| 25 |
eselect (I don't think I have tried it... I can't remember the last |
| 26 |
time I encountered a Java applet on the web) |
