I have been unable to find a list of supported browsers for the Java Deployment Toolkit. Does anyone know of such a list?

If not, can anyone provide experience of what browsers they have successfully used it with. I want to confirm that Internet Explorer 6 is supported.

A: 

It looks like IE, Netscape & Safari. http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.txt

getJREs: function() {
    var list = new Array();
    if (deployJava.isPluginInstalled()) {
        var plugin =  deployJava.getPlugin();
        var VMs = plugin.jvms;
        for (var i = 0; i < VMs.getLength(); i++) {
            list[i] = VMs.get(i).version;
        }
    } else {
        var browser = deployJava.getBrowser();

        if (browser == 'MSIE') {
            if (deployJava.testUsingActiveX('1.7.0')) {
                list[0] = '1.7.0';
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingActiveX('1.6.0')) {
                list[0] = '1.6.0';
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingActiveX('1.5.0')) {
                list[0] = '1.5.0';
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingActiveX('1.4.2')) {
                list[0] = '1.4.2';
            } else if (deployJava.testForMSVM()) {
                list[0] = '1.1';
            }
        } else if (browser == 'Netscape Family') {
            deployJava.getJPIVersionUsingMimeType();
            if (deployJava.firefoxJavaVersion != null) {
                list[0] = deployJava.firefoxJavaVersion;
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingMimeTypes('1.7')) {
                list[0] = '1.7.0'; 
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingMimeTypes('1.6')) {
                list[0] = '1.6.0';
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingMimeTypes('1.5')) {
                list[0] = '1.5.0';
            } else if (deployJava.testUsingMimeTypes('1.4.2')) {
                list[0] = '1.4.2';
            } else if (deployJava.browserName2 == 'Safari') {
                if (deployJava.testUsingPluginsArray('1.7.0')) {
                    list[0] = '1.7.0'; 
                } else if (deployJava.testUsingPluginsArray('1.6')) {
                    list[0] = '1.6.0';
                } else if (deployJava.testUsingPluginsArray('1.5')) {
                    list[0] = '1.5.0';
                } else if (deployJava.testUsingPluginsArray('1.4.2')) {
                    list[0] = '1.4.2';
                }
            }
        }
    }
