Public bug reported: On the website, the applet cannot be loaded using OpenJDK : http://www.lemonde.fr/jeux/article/2001/01/22/les-mots-croises-de-philippe-dupuis_139043_3280.html
I think the problem comes from the website, which declares the archive as a .zip instead of a .jar (which is quite strange) : <applet codebase="http://www.lemonde.fr/motscroises/" archive="crossword.zip" code="Crossword.class" height="490" width="475"> However, it appears that sun-java can run it (I asked someone to test on WinXP), so I think this special case could be handled in openjdk (icedtea6-plugin). ** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- OpenJDK : cannot load an applet if archive is not a .jar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
