Our web application utilizes three Java Applets for various functions.
We are aware that Chrome 45 will no longer support NPAPI. Upon visiting Oracle's page, it is stated that Java Plugin depends on NPAPI.
I have tested my Applets on Chrome 43 and 44, which already disable NPAPI by default but continue to support Java Plugin. Surprisingly, the Applets still run without any issues, although warning messages about the impending disabling of Java Plugin do pop up.
Question 1: Even though Java Plugin relies on NPAPI, why are my applets functioning properly? This puzzles me.
Question 2: Will the Java Plugin be unsupported in Chrome 45, and will my Applets cease to work in this version?
