jdk-1.1.1: problem w/ RPM file and Netscape

jdk-1.1.1: problem w/ RPM file and Netscape

Post by David Guerti » Wed, 04 Jun 1997 04:00:00



Hello,

I upgraded my JDK installation from 1.0.2 to the recently released
1.1.1, using the RPM file from ftp.redhat.com. (I'm running Red Hat
4.1, Linux kernel 2.0.27.) After the installation, Netscape 3.01
suddenly stopped running any Java applets.  (I haven't tried Netscape
4.0b3.)  It doesn't crash, it doesn't give any error messages; it
just acts like a non-Java-enabled browser.

Jdk-1.0.2 never did this, and when I downgraded back to 1.0.2, Netscape
ran Java applets correctly again.  I then upgraded to JDK 1.1.1 using
the tar.gz file from Blackdown, and Netscape runs Java applets correctly
under that, too.

Has anyone noticed this behavior using the jdk-1.1.1v3-1.i386.rpm
installation?  And what in the world should Netscape care about what
version of JDK I have installed, just to run an applet?  (I mean, it
will run applets without JDK even installed at all, so what's the
problem with the 1.1.1 RPM?)

Thanks,
Dave

The jdk 1.1.1 rpm sets $JAVA_HOME and $CLASSPATH. Unset the variables
and Netscape will run Java again. At least 4.0b5 does.

1. Swing 1.1 differences between jdk-1.1 and jdk-1.2

So,

I finally managed to get jdk12-beta installed on my system (don't you
just love the ports system!); and I ran a couple of Swing programs,
including the SwingSet demo, to compare the differences.

The most obvious difference is the font display (spacing, especially),
which is quite significant. This is most obvious with the SwingSet demo,
on the "Plain Text" panel. Does anyone on the list have any config-tweaks
they can suggest so that Swing looks better under FreeBSD jdk-1.2?

Cheers.
