If you are running Firefox web browser, instead to use the latest version (which is at time of writing this article version 56.0), you can install and use the latest Firefox ESR 52.8.0 where you can still user Java Plug-in, as that is the last version where you can still run popular plugins. To conclude, many users will still need to use Java and Flash plugins for many years.Įven some of users will need it to run online banking software, as Java plugins will be required for pairing USB stick. Oracle Retail 16 is the first release that fully replace Oracle Forms.Īs Oracle Retail is one of the most complex SW around, it will take a years till all clients will upgrade it to use ADF instead of Oracle Forms.Īdobe Flash is in extensive use by Oracle, as Oracle EM (Enterprise Manager) and many monitoring packages are based on it.
Oracle Retail is one such example, where the central module – RMS (Retail Merchandising System) along with a couple of smaller modules (ReSA – Sales Audit and RTM) are, even in the latest releases, still created using Oracle Forms technology. Oracle users are definitely affected, as there are many Oracle Forms applications around.Īlthough Oracle recommends to use Oracle ADF for a new apps, it will take a years (or even decade) till all Oracle Forms apps will be replaced/upgraded with a newer technology. To summarize, with new releases of the most popular web browsers, it becomes even more difficult to run applications that still requires popular Add-ins like Adobe Flash and Java. Mozilla Firefox in the next version 57, will have no add-ons at all, while the Microsoft Edge from first release has no add-ins capability.
Although I already published one article about NPAPI support and Firefox, it is not valid now, as all major web browsers are stop supporting add-ons like Java, Flash and Silverlight in recent versions.
