Problems with the Java map applet on Linux and Macs

["Jerome King" <jejeking@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Did anyone successfully get the LAS java map applet to work on Linux 
(Mozilla or Netscape)? It works fine on IE on windows.

I have a symbolic link for the application/x-java-vm (libjavaplugin_oji.so) 
in /usr/local/netscape/plugins but it doesn't seem to be enough. When I 
click "use map applet", it loads and I can see it for a second and then it 
goes back to the non-java map applet.

It's a problem because the non-java applet doesn't seem to take decimal 
degrees. It rounds off to the nearest whole degree.

Thanks,
Jerome.

PS: It doesn't seem to work on Macs either....could someone explain to me 
how Mac users get java applets to work? What are the symbolic link to 
create?
