Clear Java Cache

[jasonl99]

I keep seeing that I need to "clear my java cache" when I upgrade to a new version, but I've never seen anything that explains what this is (and I didn't want to comb through the 6000 or so posts that match that search )

 

Is this a browser function or a java function?

 

In Windows, the Java Control panel app has a "Temporary Internet Files" that says:

 

"Files you use in Java applications are stored in a special folder for quick execution later. Only advanced users should delete files or modify these settings."

 

If I click "view" I am given an option to delete files. Is this what's meant by clearing the java cache? Is there any browser-related clearing that needs to be done as well?

Link to the information. Yes it is in the Java Applet in the Control Panel.
