Not sure what your point is. RuneScape’s Java client certainly qualifies as a legacy app, and even they’ve been pushing the desktop client over the browser plugin for years.

I’m not talking about Java in general, which is alive and well. Client-side Java-in-the-browser is dead — its reputation is too far gone among both the tech savvy and the clueless. Nobody wants to install the Java plugin, and nobody wants to develop new Java applets.
