Ok, so the maintainer of the openjdk package replied here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505726 that: " the applet is lacking a mayscript attribute. " (referencing to the apple ColorBlockApplet demo above) and closed the bug. Robert --- do you still think this is a bug in openjdk? As I described above, jmol now loads and runs ---- but it stays in the "load" mode forever. The seconds in the bottom part of the applet are increasing (so the applet itself works and executes), but nothing happens. How would you suggest me to investigate further?
