Recently two of our clients have reported problems with our applets. Looking at the java plugin console it is full of ClassNotFoundException so none of our code is executed.

How can I debug or trace what is the jvm doing to load our applet?

    I’ve found a piece of the plugin code that swallows all exceptions, so maybe my users problem is there…
