Comment #3 on issue 8936 by [email protected]: REGRESSION: JAVA applet gives
error
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8936
The applet is loaded by this HTML:
<APPLET CODE="SpeedTest.class" ARCHIVE="applet/applet.jar" width="400"
height="160"></APPLET>
The W3 spec for the applet tag is at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-
19991224/struct/objects.html#h-13.4
According to this,
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=705179&tstart=120 this
error is due to the jar file appearing to not start with #CAFEBABE.
Looking at
myself I see the first four bytes of the class SpeedTest.class are correct.

C:\tmp>java -jar applet.jar SpeedTest
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from applet.jar
I can see that this somehow works in IE and FF so I am at a loss to explain
the
problem.
Looking at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml everything
appears to be
fine. However, some of the demo applets at
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/index.html fail. That seems odd. Their
formatting of the applet tag varies which may be a clue.
Specifically, the test
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/ArcTest/example1.html
works on
Safari 4 for Mac, in Firefox on Windows and Mac but not in Chromium for
Windows.
