Reviewers:
1. I am working on a Graphing
applet developed by modifying code from the prefuse visualization toolkit (
http://www.prefuse.org/). The primary issue is: "The Applet works fine in my Eclipse
IDE, but doesn't work outside of Eclipse". Without Posting code, Consistent errors received are: "load: class GraphViewApplet not found. Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed" This indicates The Class loader cannot find the applicable class. I read through the various postings in this Forum and other pertinent Forums in an effort to gain insight into problem resolution.
2. Through Analysis, I believe the solution is to generate a "Signed Applet", and perhaps tweak some security settings. The Applet does not have a "main()" function ... It is not a stand alone Application. The functions "init(), Stop(), Destroy(). are present. When I generate and
test a jar file, a consistent Error received is "Cannot Find main program" .
3. I reviewed several postings on Manifest Files. I am looking for example(s) of Generating a manifest for Applet Classes, that do not have a "Main Class" function. I say this because an entry in a Manifest requires:
Main-Class: "The Main Class"
And the applet Under development does not have a Main.
Can anyone assist me in this matter???
