WAS v8.5 > WebSphere applications > Client applications > Types of client applicationsPluggable Application Client
The Pluggable Application Client for WAS provides a downloadable run time for Java client applications to run with the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the Windows platform.
Deprecated feature: The Pluggable Application Client is deprecated. It is replaced by the stand-alone thin client, IBM Thin Client for EJB.
The Pluggable Application Client runs only on the Windows platform and requires that we have previously installed the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) files. In all other aspects, the Pluggable Application Client and the Java thin application client are similar.
