[mapserver-users] JSObject in applet

[kenboss]

And just to save you the half hour I spent looking for it, it's at 
http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm.  

(It might not be that hard to find if you're familiar with the MS website, but 
searches for Java Virtual Machine or JVM turn up nothing useful. Funny, but on 
their website the Java Virtual Machine is known as the Microsoft Virtual 
Machine, and JVM = Microsoft VM.  Sheesh.)

> 1)
> I sent a mail the 19th of April, because we couldn't run straightly the
> fifth example on our IE5/Apache system (IE5 doesn't cope with the Netscape
> libraries too ? ;-)) ). The JSObject is effectively provided with Netscape
> in it's java40.jar ( 1848k or so ) file.
> It's also in the jdk, in the jaws.jar file, but I had problems with the jdk
> 1.3 release of it.

> I've heard (I don't use, so I'm not sure of that) that ArcView could
> generate some mapfile ( with UNIX line separators and slashes ;-() ),
> javascript and Java classes and files. I've some such files, so can I tell
> you that, if you'll use them, you'll have to cope with the
> netscape.javascript package with Java, or with the java40 jarfile.

> For my own, I gave up a fortnight ago, but I will have to make it run as
