Question

I’ve been learning java for a while. I recently decided it’s time to leave the simple console applications and start making applets. Everything is great so far except the fact that I can’t find a way to run any applet made in eclipse on either of my browsers.
I downloaded this example to make sure everything is alright and it still renders the very same result when loaded in the browser.
When I open the html file the only thing in the tab is the border of the applet and the line “Error: click for details” top left. After I click the Java Console comes up and all that it says under the block of key instructions is:

Detected from bootclasspath: C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jre7\lib\deploy.jar

I don’t even know if this is any sort of error report or just a notification… after the console is cleared it won’t come up again…

I tried with: IE 8 and Chromium 17 on winxp 32

Applets on webpages run fine.

Please help me! This makes me very sad. The fact that I don’t know anything about JRE and whether it needs any further configuration after installation gives me hope that there might be a simple and trivial solution to my issue.

Answer 1

Not too sure what your issue is right now. That’s not an error report, just saying that deploy.jar, from the JRE, is being used.

When you say the example “renders the very same result” what result is that?
Can you properly run the “this example” you posted?

Are you compiling the project properly into a jar?
Are those jars in the same directory?
