Perhaps he has a 1.6 JDK installed, but the JRE used by the browser is only at 1.4.

It also doesn't actually say that he has a problem, only that the applet's requirement turns him off, an emotional response. My question is based on the (observable) fact that Lars's post doesn't provide enough information to explain why or if there's a technical problem. What little information it does provide hints that there is no technical problem, leaving his emotional response unexplained. Asking for additional information from the one who has it is entirely appropriate. I suggest that we let Lars answer the question instead of inventing stuff on his behalf. -- Lew

I read it differently: that the applet issues the error message "Sorry, you need Java 1.5+ to run this Applet", but this makes no sense to Lars because he has Java 1.6.

That's how I read it, too, although both of us had to infer to make that interpretation. Especially because that objection doesn't make sense. According to that interpretation, Lars's system meets the requirement. Leaving the question, "Why is that a problem?" -- Lew |
