Yes. And this application of java is dead. Oracle killed it 
successfully. Once you require from your users to "click" on an applet 
to start it, or to click on scary security warnings, the user is gone.
If it does not run on mobile devices nowadays, the user is gone, too.

Nice idea, but ridden by problem. Too late to fix, this ship sailed away 
quite a while ago.
