Hi,
if got an application in Java. I dont want every user to download the whole JDK or JRE (too heavy)
is there a possibility to use the Netscape VM (i assume netscape has something like a VM for the applets).
since the Software is for Win32 only at this time it could also make use of some MS stuff.

thanks
karl

Hi Karl,
First: Netscape and IE run Applets not Applications ...
Second: As long as you are only using AWT components in your applet then you should not have any problems using Netscape or IE internal JVMs.

Manfred.

manfred,
sure they run applets. but whats the difference ? arent applets just applications unning in a sandbox ?
when it comes to awt.....im using swing. but there are also other additional classes (jce, jmf) the user needs to download. i just want to minimize the size of these as much as possible.
anybody some ideas on the sysntax. i cant find any java.exe files in netscape directory.
thanks
karl

Karl,
Could you let me know if you find a way to call the existing JVM on the client machine? I'm working on the exact problem and haven't found a solution just yet.
