Recently I'm studying Java. I had no real troubles while building normal java files to .class and execute them, but, when I started a bit with applets I haven't been able to run anything.
Before I had started Java, as developer I had already a lot of development tools (Eclipse, Visual Studio, CodeBlocks and others). So, basically, I already had JDK but downloaded it again to get updated to 1.8.
Now, I have also JRE 8 and there are no troubles in using javac.exe and java.exe to build and execute, but, after building the .class file of applet, when I load the html page, I got an error which strongly recommends me to upgrade JRE.
Just to translate it:
Current version of Java is obsolete.
- Upgrade (recommended choice)
- Block
- Later
If I do the update, it gets me to this page http://java.com/it/download/index.jsp), but, it's the download link of JRE 1.7. As much as I know, JDK 1.8 is not beta (it's accessible a 1.9 preview) so why shall I use 1.7? Indeed, after downloading and installing, when I try to run the applet, the message above is shown again.
Is actually possible to install JRE 1.8 on Google Chrome?
