Browser Crash - and yes this is to do with LimeWire!

[TheFearow]

I've been working on converting LimeWire to an applet form (with only minor changes) and have succeeded.

My original idea was for people who dont have much hard drive space or don't like downloading programs, can run it off te LimeWire site.


Now, it works fine in AppletViewer.

I built a certificate etc and signed the jar.

Now however, when I attempt to load the page in Firefox, the browser closes instantly.
No warnings, no messages, nothing. It just closes.


Is there some sort of system in LimeWire to stop it being run by another program or something? If so could you point me to where in the code this is as i'm keen to finish this project.


Thanks,
Matt

I don't think there's any system to prevent it, but there's probably lots of wacky nuances that may cause problems. The best I can say is to step through exactly what happens until it dies, and continue doing that until it stops dying. It wasn't designed to be run in an applet, so there's probably going to be a bunch of problems. It's a great idea, though!

The main problem with this is it also closes the Java Console etc - So i dont have any console access for System.out.println's. I may redirect the output to a file, and add more dbug note, but as I have no clue where it is itll be a tough job.

I'll try though, as this is a fun project.
