Hello, as a bloody beginner I want to start with suns Java tutorial. To read and to test the examples I want to use the Netscape Communicator (I use an up to date potato system).
If I try an example I get the following message: Note: Because the preceding applet uses the Swing 1.1 API, it requires Java Plug-in 1.1.2 or Java Plug-in 1.2. It won't work with Java Plug-in 1.1.1 or uncustomized 1.1 browsers. For more information about running applets in the tutorial, refer to About Our Examples. That page includes a section about Downloading Java Plug-in. I hope that there is an application (appletviewer from JDK??) which could do the job, because I want to bother my installation with non-Debian packaged software. What do I have to insert in my mime.types file or any other to invoke the right application. Kind regards Andreas.
