This feature is primarily for the benefit of developers who deploy Web-based solutions such as applets that reside in a server and which users access via a browser. Such developers will likely prefer placing jsafeFIPS.jar in that location. The Java Plug-in enables applets to trigger installation of various Java extensions.

For a description of the basic steps for deploying Java extensions, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/extensions.html.
