If you are developing applets the server side Java version doesn't matter  
as applets run client side in the browser? And what has flash to do with  
the applets?

In fact you are asking a lot of questions in one long sentence.

In another fact... if it works don't upgrade if there is no reason for it.  
(But this probably is not what you wanted to hear)
