This issue recently regarding Google Chrome said to remove NPAPI (Netscape cross site capabilities) What does this mean to Java Applets signed or unsigned or Java client side on a web browser?
Recently several disturbing things came to light recently:
NPAPI discontinued in Google Chrome
Java being cut out of Windows 10
Can any one confirm these recent trends? How will this effect Java as a Mobile App language?
Or use of Flex or Flash?

Since the html5 spec is almost all one would need anything that requires a plug-in (proprietary software) will be made obsolete

Yes but Adobe Shockwave appears not to work in Google Chrome currently???
That could be. Where are you seeing that problem?

Recent versions of JAVA have to be explicitly enabled for use in the browsers by the user. Since most users don't even know what that means, it has made JAVA almost useless for use in browsers. That happened because of some serious security issues with recent versions of JAVA.
java still has outstanding vulnerabilities that go back to when it was SUN JAVA.

Sorry for the delayed response time has been very short lately
Also I would like to follow up this question with another question
For : David Johnson, MVP, David Baldwin,dpearson - Can you please confirm whether the OpenSource Java JDK/JRE still has the webstart vulnerabilities? Those are the vulnerabilities you mean right? The Microsoft windows issues?
and while you are at it is that really still true about Oracle's Java JDK/JRE when major banks use java over PHP for back end operations?
I will be opening up another couple similar but different questions
