Correct. I am extremely rarely involved in projects requiring Java.
This one is a one-off prototype to see if our toolkit can integrate
with a Java in a browser. I did most of it after looking into docs and
examples from the web: sample applet itself, Java to native interface,
java policies. Unfortunately I tripped on one of the most trivial
steps in the project - everything worked fine in Eclipse and
appletviewer but broke when the same was loaded into a browser.

BTW, didn't it happen to you that you suddenly got the WHY part after
someone showed you the HOW aspect? It did to me on countless
occasions. Just as it did in this case... :-).

And I expressed my appreciation to him. About a minute of Knute's
typing saved me possibly hours of searching. Big and measurable
difference from Lew's "RTFM, stupid!!!" type of response.

The purpose of the forum like this is to help each other, not to bash
people. Lew with his attitude is definitely in the wrong place.
