I guess we were wrong about this being about Java, sorry.

(Also my own only remaining use case from the past apparently has an 
alternative in that there is a javascript engine called Node.js that can 
run TiddlyWiki and also save without requiring Java anymore).

(Which is the preferred way to use TiddlyWiki anyway I guess, its own 
window).

Regardless at this point for me and for many people obviously, Java is 
not the biggest problem. It's Flash. But I guess that's a different 
topic then. But they are also going to phase out Flash, without real 
warranty, or real need. It still works today, there is not a real 
replacement for Flash, and soon many things will stop working.

I guess we'll need some sort of alternative browser, one that is 
actually free?
