Obsolete versions of Jinitiator can be made to work under Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9, but this approach is not supported or recommended by Oracle. Jinitiator is a JVM made and distributed by Oracle Corporation. The latest version (released in 2008) is 1.3.1.30 and is still available at the Oracle website. Download popular programs, drivers and latest updates easily. Since version 10.1.2.0.2 of Forms in 2010, Oracle began working closely with Sun to completely phase out Jinitiator.

In January 2010, a product obsolescence desupport notice was posted saying that JInitiator would no longer be supported and that all users should upgrade. In 2007 Oracle announced, that for the upcoming release of Forms version 11, Jinitiator would no longer be needed and that users should migrate to the Sun Java plug-in. Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them, so that the conversation will remain readable. I'm not sure about 1.3.1.30 so if those are of concern to you, do some checking on the compatibility. The main reason for Oracle to develop Jinitiator was to support Oracle Forms on the web in earlier releases due to bugs in earlier releases of the JDK. We are in the process of getting rid of the 1.3.1.9 version as it is NOT compatible with IE7 or IE8.

It means that for instance Jinitiator 1.3.1.25 is based upon JDK 1.3 or later. The first two numbers of the version roughly follow the Sun Java numbering convention. Quick facts: Developer(s), Operating system, Website.
