However, for UDL you want to use 3 because it uses the OTrunk view system. > > I made a new activity using a jnlp with config version 2 (the version > all the udl activities are running), added some learner data, and then > changed the config to be version 3.

You might want to run through it a bit and make sure all of the services are working properly: - make sure scripts work - make sure pop otrunk windows work - test something that uses a shared "real object" Basically it goes through a different path through the code so there might be some small startup differences we have to work out. I tried to minimize the duplicate code, so there shouldn't be too many differences. > > Finally, can you imagine that skipping the downloading of the jar > would do anything at all, or do you think the downloading errors are > merely a symptom of a greater network/bandwidth error? Yes I would guess it is merely a symptom of a network error. However, the other downloading code might provide a bit more information when it fails. So by removing the curnit download you might get an error elsewhere that provides a better clue about what is happening.
