Johns Hopkins University Java applets, errors running.

[Nasser M. Abbasi]

Could someone be kind enough to see if they can run some of
these educational Java applets here

http://www.jhu.edu/~signals/

Some of them do run ok for me, but few do not. Here is example
of the ones that do NOT run for me:

http://www.jhu.edu/~signals/bandwidth/index.html
http://www.jhu.edu/~signals/sensitivity/index.htm
http://www.jhu.edu/~signals/robust2/index.html

and few more. The above give me error:

----------------------------------------

basic: Removed progress listener: sun.plugin.util.ProgressMonitorAdapter@8d26dd
-----------------------------------------

Just wanted to know if the problem is on my end.

I did send email, but I think these applets are not being
maintained any more (as so many applets are on the web these days,
many seem not to work any more. Too bad).

There is no source code, so I can't even try to download them
and try to fix.

My configuration is this: windows 7, Firefox 11, Java 7
update 3. In the browser, I see Java plugin 10.2.1.255 for Mozilla
enabled.

If you try it, and it works for you, can you post
what configuration you have?

Thank you.

These three seem to run without errors.
Debian, OpenJDK 6, IcedTea 6 plugin.

They don't run for me, Win XP, SP3, Java 7_03, Firefox 11.0. After
clicking on the "Error. Click for details" I get a dialog that says
Width(0) and Height(0) cannot be <= 0. Clicking on the Details button
of that dialog gets me the Jave Error Console but no errors are listed.

It works for me.

Java plugin 10 is weird. I see 6.0.290.11. (Twice, once for the JDK
and once for the actual plugin.) Double check that "10" please, and
check your Java again from the windows command line. What does "java
-version" say?

I'm on windows 6.1, I guess (that's what it prints when the command line
window opens) and Firefox 11.0.

This is what I see enabled in my firefox Tools->Addon

ps. I started VBox, and installed linux Ubuntu, and using
firefox on linux (inside the VBOX), I can run some
of those applets that I can't run on windows. (one still
does not run, but all the others run).

My linux is running firefox 11 with IcedTea-Web plugin 1.1.3.

thanks,

Does it work with Java 6 and fail with Java 7?

If yes then maybe an extra check has been added in 7.

That could be, I've found some stuff in JavaMail that doesn't work in 7
but does in 6.

That could be, I've found some stuff in JavaMail that doesn't work in 7
but does in 6.

I, for one, would appreciate news of if/when this gets resolved. As my
major application depends on Javamail it looks like I'm stuck on Java 6
until a Java 7 compatible version is released.

This is what I see enabled in my firefox Tools->Addon

JDK 7.0.20.255 10.2.1.255
JAVA SE 7 U2 10.2.1.255

That's Java 7, update 2.

firefox on linux (inside the VBOX), I can run some

This to me suggests a problem with your installation, or the OS config
in general. Maybe delete the Java install, the run a registry cleaner,
then re-install Java.

They don't work for me under XUbuntu with Java 7 either.

I got the same error. I suggest you contact the author.
