I installed Java 1.6 update 5 and Firefox. Firefox works "okay", and some elements like Flash objects (videos on youtube and cartoons on AlbinoBlackSheep to name some examples) work a bit faster than they do on the native linux version of Firefox, so I wanted to try Java. My test subject was RuneScape. Well, after installing Java I set "java.exe" and "javaws.exe" to Windows 2000 mode for compatibility purposes. When I navigate to the page with the java app, Firefox hangs, and in the console it doesn't give any fixme's... On the AppDB it says Java 1.6 works without issues other than not being uninstallable. I just wanted to know if anyone might have some ideas I could try to possibly get java to work right. It functions in command line when I enter "wine java.exe". It's not critical for me to have java going in WINE, but I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask incase someone knows more about this than me (which is more than 100% likely). Thank you in advance. :D
What has this got to do with WINE? There is a Linux version of Firefox and Java you know.

Java programs work fine no matter the OS.You know some one just have too much time on their hands. And they have nothing else to do.

And they have nothing else to do.Like someone posting on a mailing list where they should just ignore it.

The thing is - one can always find a bug in Wine. The question is - are there are any real life apps that break because of this bug? Wine developers can't fix every possible bug in Wine. Only bugs that really do matter. Unless of course you have that extra free time to find the cause of the problem and even possibly fix it yourself. Or at least create a test and make it a part of the Wine test suite.

Some banks seems use java applets which use JNI. / Kari Hurtta http://kks.cabal.fi/SampoApplet

Again, thanks for the help.
