Is anyone else having trouble getting the Java Chatterbox to work with Mozilla 1.0? I know Java is working with my browser because I am able to load the applet in the main browser window, but when I click "Launch Java Chatterbox", nothing seems to happen. I have no Javascript permissions preventing popups or anything of the sort.

    Mozilla 1.0 under which platform? release or nightly build? Under Edit->Preferences->Advanced, do you have "Enable Java" selected? Below that, under Scripts & Plugins, what do you have en-/dis-abled? Are you using the Java plugin? Which Java VM version? When this happens, if you try Tools->Web Development->Java Console, do you see anything? Does Mozilla still function at this point, or does it appear frozen?

    Personally, I've tried Mozilla under Win2k and Linux, and see occasional Java-related issues with the version under Linux from its plugin, but normally in that case, in the process listing I find a defunct java_vm process....

    Hope that helps, and I look forward to the suggestions of others that may be helpful to us both....

      (warning: this thread has become extremely Mozilla-centric at this point)

      Mozilla 1.0 under which platform?
      Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607

      release or nightly build?
      1.0 release

      Under Edit->Preferences->Advanced, do you have "Enable Java" selected?
      yes

      Below that, under Scripts & Plugins, what do you have en-/dis-abled?
      all enabled

      Are you using the Java plugin?
      yes: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so (linked from ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji140.so)

      Which Java VM version?
      Java 2 SDK 1.4.0

      When this happens, if you try Tools->Web Development->Java Console, do you see anything?
      Yes, the Java Console pops up.

      Does Mozilla still function at this point, or does it appear frozen?
      Seems to be working fine... I went to Java Chatterbox and saw this come up in the Java Console:

      Launcher.findRootURL(): getDocumentBase is: http://perlmonks.org/index
+.pl
Launcher.findRootURL(): urlE2root: http://perlmonks.org/index.pl

    For what it's worth, I had no trouble at all. My mozilla 1.0 has a user agent string that identifies it as "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530" running on XP Professional. Looks like a platform-dependent (or site-dependent) problem.

    Hmm. My Mozilla completely crashes when it tries to load the Java Chatterbox applet. All other settings that you mentioned in response to atcroft are the same. I hear Debian has had a bad history with Java in general though.

    My stats:

    Using JRE version 1.3.1 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

      I just looked at some error logs that might mean more to someone else...format of "hs_err_pid23271.log". Did you get some of these in your home directory? I've been noticing them since I downloaded the Java2 plugin. An interesting part of it: 
      An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the V
+M.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x408764e7
Function name=(N/A)
Library=/lib/libc.so.6

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error j
+ust occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible reas
+on and solutions.

      The bug documentation is here. I've only skimmed it, but it looks helpful.

        The only files that the Java plugin seems to add to my home directory are .plugin140.log, .plugin140.log.lck, and .plugin140.trace.

        Your java plugin may have been compiled with a different libc in mind... I don't know.
