This sounds to me like a Plugin configuration question. You'll probably have better luck getting an answer to your problems on a plugin interest list - this is the 2D list. I know extremely little about plugin, but what I do recall is that you must use special HTML tags to invoke it. If you are not doing that then you'll get the browsers's default VM. 2ndly if you are using 1.2.1 you have no further need for any of the unbundled swing jar files. All your effort to make them available was in vain: the Swing classes are in rt.jar. If you do somehow manage to make plugin find the swingall.jar ahead of the swing classes in 1.2.1's rt.jar, then you will find it doesn't work well with 1.2.1 .. Your CLASSPATH will probably cause nothing but grief. I would assume that the registry entry was created by Microsoft for apps using their VM. I don't know that other VM's look for that registry entry. If Plugin does in fact read that entry I wouldn't be in the least surprised if it had trouble coping with the 3 different sets of core classes you have there :- MS 1.1, Sun 1.2.1, and Symantec Cafe. Setting global CLASSPATHs is almost never a smart thing to do. -Phil. > > I cannot access Graphics2D classes from either browser, does anyone have > any advice ? > > I am Running NT4.0, with Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape Communicator 4.6 > with updated plug-ins. > > I have upgraded from jdk117->121.
