    Subject: JDK 1.2 + plug in

    Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 23:06:55 +0100

Hi

I am trying to get going on 1.2 and I am very interested in the java plug in. I
hope to get my customers to download and use this - perhaps I will encourage
this using the HTML prompter.

The problem is that I am not finding the installation very seamless and easy.

1) Navigator 4 wouldn't see the plug in at first. I had to manually copy over a
DLL to force this - not something I want my customers to have to do!

2) I am trying to follow and get working the JDK1.2 'signed applet example'.
This asks you to enable the java console on the browser. However my IE4 now
locks the computer up if I do this following the installation of JDK1.2.

3) Whilst I have got Duke's certificate,created .keystore and .java.policy in my
user.home directory (c:\windows using the java console from Navigator) -
nevertheless neither Navigator nor IE4 seem to think that the
signedpluginex.html is certificated! As a result I can't see how to set any
access rights for Duke. In both browsers I still just get the security
exception...

Regards
