Is there any way of knowing this ?

Neither Netscape nor IE implement a JVM. It has to be installed separately and
called as a plugin by the browser. There *used* to be a JVM by Microsoft
(outdated, around version 1.1.4) that may have been bundled with some early
IE versions and later came with Windows, but that's a thing of the past.

Thanks for the answer

but how come when I downloaded the latest version of both browsers,
they can run some applets but not others (written in java2) ?

Probably because you already had the Microsoft VM installed and they use it.

there is a system property "java.version" that
you can access at run time

not tested:

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
