java problem

Hello,

The applet that's supposed to start on this webpage:

http://ottawa.ithaca.edu/sis-deg-nav-stu/

doesn't startp up (the Java console shows some null pointer exception). Same thing happens on another Arch linux machine. However, my roommate's Ubuntu starts up the applet OK, and it also works properly on Windows computers on the campus. Anybody else has luck starting the applet? I read a topic that claims that OO2 borked up their java, but I only run OO1 still...

Re: java problem

Maybe it's code designed with MS Java VM in mind. But that would be really dumb, because MS Java VM is not cross-platform and is really crappy.

Re: java problem

I get the same error. There is a
'WARNING: Deprecated parameter: "language". Please use "interfaceLanguage" instead.'
message in the console. Maybe it will work with an older java version.

Re: java problem

Hmm, well it works well under Ubuntu, I'll check j2re versions and see if that is the reason.
