Jacob and others, I have just spent a couple of days making my debugger run on Linux. It was not an easy task, so I thought I would share some of the wisdom I gained along the way. I would point out that these are just the best data I have, and if I am incorrect on any of these point I

I have been unable to get a JComboBox to report any Key/Focus Events to listeners. I have checked the archives on the mailing list and the bug reports and couldn't find the problem reported. I have encountered the problem in both the Windows and Linux JVM's so I'm wondering at this point whether

You are right, applets are sand-boxed. But applets can be signed thus allowing the user to 'trust' the applet. Once trusted the applets are allowed system resources that otherwise they are deprived of. For example, An untrusted applet is not allowed to obtain the IP address of it's client. It alw

hi all, I have been reading this thread for a while now. I have a question about the java security in general and specifically caters to applets downloaded from the internet sites while browsing. People have raised security questions when users browse and download applets on their local computers
