macOS Big Sur Java Plugin

I upgraded to macOS Big Sur. As soon as I did, the Java Plugin no loner would load. I have tried Safari and Firefox. Have has been installed & uninstalled multiple times. Have shows up in system preferences, but, no plugin shows available in Safari or Firefox. Trying to run Oracle Forms that requires it. I have tried current versions of Java as well as previous versions. No errors, it just does not show the available plugin within either of the browsers. Any one else seen this?

Apple dropped Java support in Catalina. I don't think any modern browser will support the Java Applet. Java, and especially the applet system is vulnerable to exploits.

Oracle provides Java Development Kits (JDK). There are also Open Source JDKs.
