java shortcoming in Mozilla
I'm running the blackdown distribution of the JDK (1.3.1) and using the Mozilla plugin. I can't quite figure out why, but for some reason threads seem to be terminating prematurely. Most simple java apps work fine, but trying to run any of the popcap games (www.popcap.com) results in the loader portion of the program loading and then immediately terminating. This is a problem since the loader portion of the program is responsible for actually downloading the full game. After going through the java2 plugin control panel I've failed to find anything useful. The .java_wrapper script has a promising entry referring to the J2SE_PREEMPTCLOSE environment variable. Unfortunately, .java_wrapper doesn't appear to be called by the java plugin. Any suggestions? -Alex signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I would've posted this several hours ago, except, well, um, I got involved in testing out some of those popcap games . . . .

BTW; about:plugins reports that I've got the Java(TM) Plug-in Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS plugin. Mine is reporting the same version of Java. I WAS using Mozilla 0.9.8 so I just upgraded but still no luck. I get the loading screen just fine, and then it just stops. The progress indicator doesn't budge. Quite an annoyance. -Alex signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
