Habanero from NCSA supports elegantly synchronous sharing of Java objects allowing multiple clients replicated views of arbitrary Java objects. Runs as a Java application and cannot be integrated with major browsers except HotJava
  • Sharing same as collaboration
Tango from NPAC is a Web browser based synchronous collaboration system allowing objects to be in any language including Java, VRML, JavaScript, C++
  • User must supply events to be shared through well defined API's
  • Needs a plugin for Netscape3 but uses signed Applets and no plugins for IE4 and Netscape4
