Wow, Sean, I upgraded from java 1.3.1 to j2sdk1.4.2 I found a file called plugin142.trace. I did not know much about this file other than it had an error trace of why my browser did not work with Java 1.4.2. (Tuple3d class not found) I searched on the internet for this file and found, (your note)... I am running on windows so I do not have a choice of chmod. I am getting ready to upgrade to 1.5 (to see if this fixes the problem). Did you find a better solution other than chmod? Cheers, Kristin I just installed java3d and have been puttering around with it for the afternoon (possible job opportunity using this stuff). I found that I was immediately able to use the install on the included demos (ie, cd /usr/local/share/java/java3d/demo/HelloUniverse && java HelloUniverse), but nothing would run in a browser. Oddly enough something like appletviewer HelloUniverse_plugin.html worked just fine but the browser just refused to give me anything but a gray window with a small red x in the upper left corner. Omitting the agonizing details of how I discovered this (and I still don't know WHY this is so), the issue seems to revolve around the existence of the file ~/.java/deployment/log/plugin142.trace !! In short, if it exists when the browser starts no applets can be run properly in that browser (this only applies to java3d stuff). My work-around was to chmod 555 ~/.java/deployment/log so that the file couldn't be created. I don't have a clue why this is happening but I'm guessing I'm not the only one -- or has no one else tried the plugin functionality? I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE jdk-1.4.2p6_4, linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.04, java3d-1.3.1_1, javavmwrapper-1.5, and exactly the /etc/libmap.conf contents suggested by linuxpluginwrapper-20040310_1 when installed earlier. Please let me know if anyone would like any more details about my system. Sean
