Thanks for all the replies. Yes, I was referring to clashing Windows PC Java versions, with a homegrown, or rather custom written code from a vendor for an in-house project, needing one level, and this beautiful performance tool needing a different level. I appreciate the Firefox idea, it seems it would be too far outside the current corporate box.
There have been lots of attempts to make this work by the PC folks, the most promising seems to be me signing onto the server and running my analysis there. I'm sure the authorizations to do that will eventually filter back to me. :-) Loads of fun. Our outsourcer here spent a lot of time coming up with a great process to do before and after measurements of performance for applications, systems software, and vendor software installs and major changes. Great idea after the last big project left us with a third party database that tripled CPU use for its applications. I hope the various mainframe projects don't need me to signoff on the performance hit aspect anytime soon. Short of sitting down at one of their PCs running their images I'm not likely to be able to do that for now.

It's an issue, Java applet "clashes." (Also sometimes happens with Internet Explorer itself because it's at least very difficult to run two IEs on the same system. Firefox doesn't seem to have that restriction.) I know IBM solved it in Host On-Demand in the past couple versions by adding the functionality to our applets to let them choose which installed JVM to use. (The Administrator can configure that.) If the newer applet could add comparable function to their code you'd be all set. (I believe many applet vendors are doing just that.) In the meantime I can think of a workaround. There's the old separate browser trick. For example, put Firefox on the system, then configure the newer JVM to only provide plug-in support for that browser. Or, if the newer applet supports Java Web Start, then you don't even need a separate browser. - - - - - Timothy F.
