Considerations: Notification of disabled Java and restore prompts

If you have disabled Java content in your Web browser, Setup notifies you and provides instructions for enabling Java. If you have previously chosen to hide the security prompts for small applications and Java Web Start applications, the installer will provide the option to restore the prompts. When you are prompted to restart your Internet browser, Setup may ask you to restart your computer if you choose not to restart it.
