Got two applets.

  • Applet A requires 1.6+
  • Applet B doesn't work in 1.6 (1.4 works)

How do I get them both to work?

A: 

From 6u10 there is an out-of-process plug-in. This allows multiple JRE processes to run and so version selection can select more than one JRE version.

Better: Make Applet B run on 1.6.

I have no control of Applet B or it's launching behavior. I support applet A, and need it not to interfere with other mission critical applets.

+1  A: 

If I could control applet B, I could specify it to use the 1.4 JRE.

That's how to do it alright. Now why is it that you don't control the launch behaviour of applet B? What's stopping you copying the <applet> or <object> tag with suitable modifications into a webpage of your own and advertise that as the new launch for applet B?

Careful with that...

That applet is controlled entirely third party.

Then you are SOL. An applet will always use the latest JRE installed unless a clsid is put into its launch tag. :(
