I can see that things like this have been asked, but I can't see a
definitive answer. I can run my applet in a free-standing instance of IE,
which is configured to use the Sun JVM. But when it's called from the IE
instance created by SWT Browser it ignores this configuration and defaults
to the Microsoft JVM. The MS JVM won't run my applet because it throws a
com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Host].
Any way to get the SWT Browser to respect the JVM preference set in IE? Or
a suggested workaround?

Thanks Chris. I'm not sure if the source of the problem has been identified
correctly. Or maybe just not stated clearly in the FAQ. From my
observation, whether an applet runs inside an SWT Browser on Windows or not
depends on whether it is contained in a single JAR or has to access code in
another JAR. (At least I have one applet that is self-contained and runs
fine and one that uses two JARS that does not. I guess that's not very
conclusive.) I see the same behavior when I try to run the two applets
inside a free-standing instance of IE with the MS JVM: the single-JAR applet
runs, the two-JAR applet throws a com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Host]
exception. (Note: I am running the applets from the local file system, not
over the Internet, so perhaps the MS JVM sees accessing code in one JAR from
a second one as an illegal attempt to access the file system. Later note: I
just checked )
If I'm right, the problem in the SWT browser is only a problem if your
applet will not run ok in the MS JVM. I don't know too much about applets,
but since the exception I'm getting is in com.ms.security I'm looking at
signing the applet as a possible workaround. I'd be interested in anyone
else's experiences with applets in the SWT Browser to know whether they have
tried signing. I hate to go through all the rigamarole if people already
know this won't work.

Sent that last post before I was finished writing what I wanted to say. The
"Later note" I was starting to add was that when I try to run my two-JAR
applet over the Internet (in SWT or free-standing) I get the same problem,
so apparently it's not the file system issue that I naively imagined might
be the problem. The question remains as to why some applets *do* run fine
in the SWT Browser.

That's not a problem for me. My applets are written with the SuperWaba SDK,
which is Java 1.1 compliant.

Can you explain why some applets *do* work fine in the SWT Browser and
others do not? I'm not satisfied with the explanation I am getting
regarding not being able to create a second JVM since in some circumstances
it's fine. Anybody know how to debug an applet while it's running in the MS
JVM?

OK, the simplest explanation is that the applets that do work with the
SWT Browser are those that can be run by the MS JVM, and the ones that
don't work are the ones that cannot be run by the MS JVM for whatever
reason.
I'm very aware of the Java 1.1 vs Java2 platform difference, but if that
doesn't apply in this case, then there is some other reason MS JVM won't
run the applet. Something to look into is what HTML tag (<applet>
<object> <embed>) is used to specify the applet.
Anytime the embedded browser uses the Sun or IBM Java plugin on Windows,
the Java plugin returns an error because it cannot start a second JVM in
the current process...

Ok, if it's as simple as that then this *may* be good news--for me anyway.
The thing I have to figure out is how to debug the applet while it's running
in the MS JVM. Any thoughts?
And thanks very much for your help with this!
