Java Plugin and GIFs from Jar file...
This used to work and I haven't looked at it for a while. First thing I did is run the old java applet web page with the old jar file, kinda just to lay eyes on the thing again.
It had to download a new plug-in from Sun, and upon doing so, reports a new error indicating that the value for the cache_version attribute in the HTML is incorrect. It was 1.0 (always has been) and the plugin says it needs to be in X.X.X.X format instead.
So, that isn't a nice change to make in the plugin at this time.However, if I just click okay and close the error dialog, at least it works fine after that.
In my attempt to get rid of the dialog I change the cache version to 1.0.0.0, upon doing this
the toolbar images no longer load, it says there is a java.io.FilePermission error.
We'll it doesn't make any sense that a mere change to cache version caused that so I changed the version back to the apparently erroneous value of 1.0, and then the toolbar images work again ! But I get the permission error.
Any ideas how I can fix these pesky images loading from a jar ?
Do you have any code that loads images out of a jar in an applet succesfully ?
Or have any suggestions on what I could try ?
Below is the code I'm using to load the images, where icoXXXX is a ImageIcon object, and fileameXXXX is a string containing a relative file path such as "images/highcolor/toc_color.gif" (this code executes in the applet's init() method (called by the plugin):
java.net.URL urlToc = getClass().getResource(filenameToc);
java.net.URL urlTocBW= getClass().getResource(filenameTocBW);
