Try loading a little applet that dumps ...
System.getProperty("java.version")

put it in a label in the applet.
Thanks, I found http://www.javatester.org/version.html
which does this and explains numerous other methods.
....hmm. I see it does.
However, note that my suggestion covers points 1 and 6,
and the other methods are either not X-plat, or not X-browser,
or simply rubbish.
E.G.
- I can be running one (Sun) Java in IE and a different Sun
Java in FF, so the majority of those methods which request a
single 'system level' java version, simply cannot be trusted.
- Requesting the MSVM version via JView in the command
line does *not* tell you if the MSVM is selected as the current
VM for IE - which may be configured to use the Sun Plug-In,
even if the MSVM is installed.
The *only* reliable way to know what VM a browser is using,
(as its default) is to 'ask an applet'.
