Java 8 and browser plugin

I installed JDK 8, when I type in cmd java -version I get 1.8, the browser when run my applet which needs Java 1.8, it says the JRE 1.8 is not available, run this using the latest JDK.

When I check the plugin in browser all point to JRE 7, Chrome and IE. In Java Control Panel I see JDK 8 listed.

I think the likely explanation is that you've installed a 64bit JRE/JDK, but you still have 32bit browsers.

So the browsers just aren't seeing and are unable to use the 64bit plugin.

I had the same issue, and I installed the x86 JDK as well, and subsequently the Java plugin is listed.
