Hi all,

I am using swt browser control to open a a htm page inside eclipse
IDE.
I have an embedded applet inside htm file which communicates with a
localhost webserver running in the same machine. When I tried to open the
htm page it is opening the page nd applet is also loading , but the applet
fails to communicate with the localhost server.

When I open the htm using Internet Explorer from the filesystem it is
working
properly. Is there any limitation for the embedded browser in eclipse, or
whether we have to set any security policies to make it work.

Also,I want to know how to get the details in the java console for the
swt browser. I am using 3.0 version of eclipse.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Running an applet inside the embedded Browser is problematic. To run the
applet you need to launch a VM but there is already a VM running in this
process (the one running eclipse) and you can't have two VMs running in the
same process.

A: Applets usually don't show up in the SWT Browser. On Windows
(Internet Explorer), the Java plugin fails to run a second Java virtual
machine to execute the applet because two Java virtual machines cannot
run in the same process. On Linux (Mozilla), the Java plug-in has been
reported to work because it executes in its own process. See bug 59506 .
