It's a shortcoming in many JRE versions.

The JRE implements all networking separately from the browser, so the
authentication on requests sent by Java applets is managed by the JRE
and not the browser even if the JRE is seemingly running within the
browser as an applet...

And authentication has not been a high priority for the JRE implementers
so it lacks behind considerably compared to the browsers...
