I've never tried IBM's JDK -- they're still the big blue bad guys to me -- and I've never had much of a problem with the Sun JDK.
I originally tried Sun's, but it was a version behind IBM's. that's when I installed IBM's 1.4.1 as I needed version 1.4 and Sun only had 1.3. This time I tried Sun first (both Sun and IBM have the same versions now it looks like), and when that failed I tried IBM again.
use Mozilla 1.7.5 (I was using 1.4.3, but that didn't work right either). Everything was fine before I went from RH 9 to RHEL WS . During that transition, Mozilla was upgraded from whatever RH 9 had to whatever RHEL WS came with, and of course the JDK that I had installed (IBM 1.4.2) was nuked and I had to install a new JDK.
Ow.
I hate those sorts of "upgrades".
You're telling me!? :)
I use Mozilla in W2K as well (same laptop).
<wince>
Can't help you there, I'm afraid.
Me too - very afraid, but since I am porting an application to Linux (sounds good huh - porting a supposedly platform-independent application to another platform - thank M$ for fsck'ing up Java) from Winsucks, I kinda need to be able to compile under W2K (gotta make sure it works on the original before I try it on the new :) )
Under Linux I can run Java applications, I can develop Java applications, I can compile Java applications and Java applets, but I can't run a Java applet.
Even with the AppletViewer?
Even with appletviewer, but even if it did work, I would still need my browser to verify operability within the actual browser.
Under Windows I can develop, run, and compile Java applications, I can run a Java applet, but I can't develop or compile a Java applet. Java
Er, why would compiling a Java applet be any different? It's the Same Compiler. Just a different application entry-point and delivery mechanism.
Beats me, but IDEA was giving errors when configuring for an applet and command line was having issues compiling anything (this is Winsucks, Linux compiles fine, just no working plugin) though I did get an application to compile.
Has anyone else had problems like this? Did you fix them and how?
Yes. Mozilla + Java Applets -> No Go. (This was at work after the admin decided that Gentoo was better than Debian. As I wasn't willing to assume administration duties, I didn't complain TOO much, especially as it gave me a chance to see how well, or not, Yet Another Distro worked without having to do the hard work myself.) Solution: FireFox.
I'll have to try FireFox tomorrow (err, today) while I'm tootling around at work.
