I'm a little new to this community but have been investigating the Java
on OS/2 capabiities. If someone can help me out here on my analysis so
far I woud appreciate it. My goal is to help determine a path that
makes sense to pursue further if required. The goal is to get some
fairy complex applets that work fine in the standard Windows world under
current IE and Netscape 4.x browsers to work correctly under OS/2,
knowing this may mean updates and changes to them to support Java 1.3.
Here some questions I am hoping I can get some response from the
community on:
1. Netscape 4.61 and the 1.18 JVM included with that browser under OS/2
is very unstable from what I have seen. Our experience is that this is
True. True or False?
2. Alternatives to getting a more stable JAVA environement under OS/2
are to use the Java 1.3 Plugin either under Netscape 4.6.1 or Mozilla?
True or False?
3. Would going to Mozilla (Warpzilla) cause more instability as a
general browser as opposed to staying with Netscape 4.6.1 and using the
plugin? Yes or No? The overall application in our case does not use
heave HTML or heavy Javascript so whiz-bang up-to- date Browser features
are not a concern, it is the Java stability in coordination with the
browser that have been the problem.
4. Does IBM officially support Warpzilla so problems can be logged and
fixed accordingly or is this just a public courtesy by IBM to help out
the OS/2 community? Yes or No?
Thanks for your help.
