Thomas:

Yes, if someone runs your applet and does not have the exact version of
the plugin that your applet requires, they will be prompted to download
the plugin.

I say "exact version", because they could have installed one of the
three or 4 versions of the plugin.  Since there can be only one instance
of the Java Plugin on the machine, any mismatch will require a new
download.  Eventually the users stop letting *any* Java plugins get
installed <g>.  This is the main weakness of the Java Plugin and the
main reason why Sun doesn't recommend it as an Internet solution (great
on Intranets, though).
