java-programmer, Applet caching in IE5 - permanently!
I have the same problem and I posted the question a couple of weeks ago
but no one seemed to care or know what happened.

Sun's JVM?

That's the only theory I've come across so far.

: Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes - one other person at least has recently reported the same problem here.

No. This is specifically the Microsoft JVM. The Sun plugin us much
