Java VM - How to prompt user to install SUN Plugin?

[Guest]

I have a Java Applet, but it only works for latest Sun Java VM (doesn't work
for Microsoft VM), is there a way to prompt users to install Sun's plugin?
Just like Flash does, it automatically detects using some javascript or
<object> tag activeX stuff and prompt user to download latest plugin. Any
idea?

...There are a few in between the 1.1.4 MSVM and
Sun Java 1.5.0 RC.

.. is there a way to prompt users to install Sun's plugin?
