Hi,
I run Linux RedHat version 5.2 with the JDK1.2 from www.blackdown.org. Until now
I haven't had any problems with compiling Ptolemy II or running the applets
with the appletviewer. Ptolemy II thus runs out-of-the-box on my Linux laptop with
no problems. I have heard, however, that running JDK1.2 with RedHat 6.0 is a sure
route to trouble. With respect to the plug-in, just check the blackdown site regularly
for further comments on scheduled releases of the plug-ins.
