Sun Finally Makes a 64-bit Java Plugin

Well, I heard in this article that in JDK/JRE 1.6.0_12 and beyond, Sun is going to be delivering a 64-bit Java plugin. Finally. I've been waiting for a long time for this, and while I have to say it's not going to impact me that much as I don't do a lot of web/applet-based development any more, it's nice to know it's there should I ever get back to it.

Now all we need to see is a pre-packaged Firefox for Linux that's 64-bit.
