JDK 1.1 Compatible Browsers
This page describes JDK1.1 compatible browsers. The information here
is bound to change, it was last updated on 02/20/99.
Most of the applets on these pages require JDK 1.1 (JDK stands for the
Java Development Kit). JDK 1.1 is supported by Netscape 4.06 and higher,
and Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher.
If your browser does not support JDK 1.1, you might see the following
message in your Java console window (which you can open under Netscape's
"Communicator" menu):
# Applet exception: error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
java.awt.TextArea: method <init> (Ljava/lang/String;III)V not found
To get JDK 1.1 to work with Netscape 4.03
- 4.05, you need to download a patch. The patch can be found at the developer.netscape.com
download page.
The Javasoft Java Plugin
is a software package that allows browsers to
use Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on IE3.0 and later and
Netscape3.0 and later.
The plugin can be used to run applets that require JDK1.2.
Limitations:
Only for Solaris, Irix and Windows.
Applets that use The Java Plugin have to have special HTML
that tells the browser to use the Plugin. Currently, browsers that
use the Plugin and browsers that do not use it cannot run an applet
from the same HTML text.
