The problem is that embedded browser does not seem to be able to load
Flash / Silverlight plugins. I think it's probably caused by
incompatible architecture - Java 1.6 is 64bit only while Safari (and
mentioned plugins) are 32bit, right?
WebKit and Safari both run in 64-bit. 32-bit plugins are run in a
separate process, with rendering and events transferred between it and
the WebView. (It's a bit like the way Google Chrome works, but only
for plugins.)
I don't know the details of how the cross-process rendering is done;
perhaps there's something that makes it incompatible with Java
windows. Cocoa-dev is almost certainly not the optimal list to ask,
though — I'm pretty sure Apple hosts a list for developers using
WebKit, and I'm sure they have lists for Java.
