Chrome dropped Java support

Question

I use Java applets in my application, today I surprisingly saw the redirect from my page and the next message from java

In details I've read about Chrome dropping 'NPAPI' support

Recently, Google has revised their plans and now state that they plan to completely remove NPAPI by late 2015. As it is unclear if these dates will be further extended or not, we strongly recommend Java users consider alternatives to Chrome as soon as possible. Instead, we recommend Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari as longer-term options. As of April 2015, starting with Chrome Version 42, Google has added an additional step to configuring NPAPI based plugins like Java to run — see the section Enabling NPAPI in Chrome Version 42 and later below.

So will it be handled by Java somehow or it is the death of my applet in the next year ?

Answer 1

As of Chrome Version 42, an additional configuration step is required to continue using NPAPI plugins.

In your URL bar, enter: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi Click the Enable link for the Enable NPAPI configuration option. Click the Relaunch button that now appears at the bottom of the configuration page.
