Re: [TCLUG:23171] netscape java problems?

Hi, Colin.

I've noticed the same problem.  Netscape does not start up with a Java
Virtual Machine running.  Once you hit a page with an applet, it will
start one up.  This usually takes a few seconds.  Then it'll start
downloading the applet.  If the applet is huge, it will take a little
while with no status information.  This may appear to be "halted".

Also, the latest JVM that Netscape uses is 1.3.  I just downloaded the SDK
yesterday.  If your applet is written a certain way, it will consume
resources and appear as "crashed".  This is the result, for instance, with
VNC applets on Linux.  They run fine on Win 32-bit platforms.  *shrug*
