SSL and the JVM

I know this question has been asked before but the answers in the archives
seem to date from 1997
so I'll ask again.

When is it possible to use a urlConnection() to
open an https connection?

I have heard that it is possible when running in
the browser's JVM but not while running in the
JDK, JRE or using the Java plug in in the browser.

Is this description accurate? I had heard that sun
might be including SSL into the base distributions,
have you done so already.
