Question

I know very little about Java but I’m attempting to run this applet from here:
http://www.jhlabs.com/java/maps/proj/ only run it locally. So i just changed the page source to this:

<applet archive="dist/javaproj-1.0.6.jar" code="Proj.class" width="690" height="600">
</p>

But then i get this error from any browser:

ava.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Any ideas what i am missing here?

Make sure your Proj class extends the Applet class.
