JApplet and org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout Error

[Ana Sousa]

Hi. I'm having some hard time trying to convert my swing app into japplet.
When i run the appletviewer it works just fine, but when i try run it on a browser it keeps saying this

I've looked everywhere for this error and everyone says the same thing:
- swing-layout-1.0.jar and applet.jar must be in the same folder as index.html and must be referenced this index with the archive tag. i've done it.
- i also saw it could be a problem with netbeans using automatic layout generation so i set it up to standard java 6 code too.

But it keeps saying the same
This is an assignment for school and i really need this to work.

any suggestions?

Post the APPLET tag and the file/directory layout.

[Ana Sousa]

My applet:
<applet archive="swing-layout-1.0.jar,AppletClient.jar"
code="ClienteApplet.class"
width="702" height="555">
</applet>

[Ulf Dittmer]

So swing-layout-1.0.jar and AppletClient.jar are both in the same directory as the HTML file?

(I took the liberty of removing the code from your post, as it is not relevant to the problem at hand.)

[Ana Sousa]

Yes they are... i already found another way to solve my problem which is drawing everything and placing it by my self (with GridBagLayout), but it is taking some time. i would still like to see my question solved.

Thanks in advance
