SWT Browser, Windows, & Applets [message #451673] Fri, 04 March 2005 21:24 Go to next message

Hi.

I know there's been lots of discussion about this topic. However, I
wanted to plug what I've found out about displaying Java Applets with
the SWT Browser control in Windows in hopes of finding a solution.

First, I don't believe it's an Internet Explorer problem as I've created
a custom Browser control using Mozilla. And yes, Java Applets still
failed to load.

There's been some talks that the reason for the said problem is because
two Java VMs cannot exist in the same process. So I've tried various
things to try to get around this - using different Java executables for
the application and Applet, different VMs, and others. The only thing
close to working was installing the MS VM along with Sun's Java VM. My
guess as to why that works is because Sun first tries to load the Applet
using its own VM, but it fails. So it defaults to MS' VM and works.
However, using the MS VM is not a viable solution because of obvious
reasons.

So now for my question:
Does anyone have ANY solutions or suggestions for displaying Java
Applets using the SWT Browser control in Windows?

Thanks for any leads.

Doogie

If you use the applet tag <applet> and IE uses the default MS VM, the applet
should work.
Otherwise, as you said, Sun's java plugin attempts to start a second JVM
from within the existing process that is already running a JVM and does not
succeed.
If anyone has implemented workarounds on Windows please pass it on to the
following bug report:
