Dear Debian Java folks,

I run Etch 4.0 r(0) on

I use Iceweasel and I recently installed java-gcj-compat-plugin from synaptic. I then went to the following web site:

http://tierling.home.texas.net/

This guy has generously put a bunch of java applets on the site than can simulate various engineering pieces of kit.

I went on there and ran some of the applets. The vessel volume one worked fine. It has a final line at the bottom with a calculate button and a print ready button.


The calculate button allows you to run the volume calculation again after changing the parameters in the above buttons for the vessel.

You get sensible results when you change the parameters.

But if you go on the distillation simulation there is a problem.

The applet runs BUT it does not produce the last line at the bottom which should have a similar calculate and print ready buttons.....

This means that you can't rerun the calculation with new parameters etc. In effect the applet is useless................

I wondered if there could be a problem with the java plugin I was using. So I found an IT guy at work who uses Internet explorer plus java plugin and Windows etc and looked on the same web page and ran the applet for the distillation simulation.....

It worked.

I got the final calculate and print ready buttons.

He thought I needed to upgrade the java I am using.

I wondered if it meant that the java-gcj-compat-plugin deb file has an error in it somewhere.....

So removed the java-gcj-compat-plugin using synaptic and then I downloaded the amd64 jre file from the blackdown site (version 01) and installed it with the java-package fakeroot make-jpkg commands etc and then installed the deb file that I made from it with the dpkg command.....

I then went back on Shane Tierling's web site and tried the distillation applet again. I still get exactly the same problem.

Something is wrong with the java we are using in the gcj and blackdown plugins we are using in Etch AMD64 land.

Either that or MR Tierling's java is a little wonky in some subtle way so that the plugins don't read it correctly except in Windows land.........

I will have to run this applet on my pals Windows box........


Never mind.

Unless you java folks have a way to get this applet to work.....

Comments appreciated.

Regards

Michael Fothergill
