I am asking this... b/c when I do this applet....
public class newpalindrome extends java.applet.Applet
{
public void paint (Graphics screen)
{
Graphics2D screen2D=(Graphics2D)screen;
Line2D.Float ln=new Line2D.Float(60f,5f,13f,28f);
screen2D.draw(ln);
}
}
and I open it in the explorer.... nothing draws or fill!!
This may be a silly question, but you do have an init, start and stop method in there, too right? Because it won't work w/o those.
:)
Are you sure? Because this applet work in the JDK Appletviewer.... and also... I have created Applets with just the Paint method.
So... what do you think?
the default JRE that comes with IE does not have the Graphics2D Object... I assume they are still on JDK 1.1 you would have to get them to download the latest version of suns site
In answer to your original question: no, IE does not support Java 2 out of the box. So if you want to write applets for stock IE you'll need to use JDK 1.1.4 or perhaps JDK 1.1.8. However, Sun does have a plugin that when installed will make IE Java 2 aware.
There are pros and cons to this: Pro--Java 2 has swing, etc. Con--most people do not have the plugin, though they can freely install it.
If you decide to get the plugin, you can get it here:
