You'd better use the Plug-in because you're likely to go out of
business waiting for MS to support JDK 1.2 out of the box.  Didn't you
notice that the new default in IE is to not install a VM *at all*. 
Not even their own VM.

The Plug-in is your best bet, but it does have it's weakness outside
the Intranet environment.  It's only a one time hit (though a big one
on a modem).
