I think this is funny myself.

I typed "java new plugin" in google search, first link is

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/plugin2-142482.html

When I go there, I get an applet error!

It seems harmless, not sure. But was wondering, is this something
others see as well? Here is the error:


"java.io.FileNotFoundException: JNLP file error: DragExample.jnlp. Please make sure the file exists
and check if "codebase" and "href" in the JNLP file are correct.
	at sun.plugin2.applet.JNLP2Manager.loadJarFiles(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)"

Here is a screen shot

I am running firefox 3.6.17 on windows 7
My Java/JRE is all update, control panel says I have
1.6.0_24  under system.

I can expect applet errors on a web site, but not on an official
Oracle webite about Java !
