    Angry Virtual Machine incompatibilities...

    Hi,
    I'm struggling with the following problem:
    I have created an applet that will only run under Sun Java Virtual Machine (1.3/4), but refuses to work with the Microsoft Virtual Machine.

    I presume it has something to do with the fact, that I implement the Timer class from the JDK 1.4.0.

    Does anyone have any experience with this?


    Thanks in advance for your pointers and tips!

    Exclamation More...

    elaborating on the last post I'd like to add, that the Ms VM throws the following message everytime:
    "load: class xxxxx not found"
    with class xxxxx being the main class in the java source, namely the one that extends class Applet.
    (syntax:
    public class xxxxx extends Applet ...
    )

    Thanks...

    Micro$oft never really supported Java so don't worry about, they modified the language (eg. "delegates") and tried to corporatized it a la "JScript", don't expect compatibility. I believe that Micro$oft is stuck supporting Java 1.1.4 and nothign newer due to the lawsuit.

    I was hoping there were a solution, such that I would alter my code to achieve (1.1.4) compatibility...
    Is there some site I could check or something?

    Tanks!

    You could ask the people using it to update to the latest JVM for the good of mankind!

    You can set it up so it installs when needed. i.e. when a user goes to your web page if they don't have the correct JVM the browser asks if they want to install it, and then does.
    Information about this can be found here http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
