- - NPJava131.dll (http://forum.fulqrumpublishing.com/showthread.php?t=13063)

Secunia is reporting that the file NPJava131.dll, present in IL-2's bin folder, is at its "end of life" and is insecure. I suppose that is understandable, the file is dated 8-26-2002. It apparently is a Netscape plug-in.

On my own system I've marked it as "ignore" in Secunia's PSI security scanner but I don't know how wise that really is, nor whether NPJava131.dll serves any useful purpose in the program (IL-2).

Does anyone have any information that can shed a light on the importance (or not) of the "end of life" issue with this particular java plug-in?

I've been unable to locate an update for it, although doing so is probably beyond my level of expertise.

The IL2 java file system is native to IL2 only.

You will find changing/updating the IL2 java files can stop the program from working.

Generally you should leave these files alone as they are part of the internal workings of IL2.

Thanks for that answer, Alpha. I'll simply leave the file marked as "ignore".
