[Bug 199732] Re: applet fails to load with nullpointerexception

 

Test package is now available from my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive?field.name_filter=openjdk

openjdk-6 (6b11-2ubuntu3~ppa1h) hardy; urgency=low

  * PluginAppletViewer: accept PARAM tags inside EMBED and try to translate
    "classid" to "code" so appletviewer has a start-up class, before deciding
    to nullify all attributes. LP #199732

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-java7-plugin

I am trying to access an applet from http://www.jigzone.com. The applet fails to load with error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.start(PluginMain.java:211)
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.main(PluginMain.java:73)


I am running Hardy Alpha 6 (firefox3, icedtea-java7). The applet works just fine on my Gutsy box (firefox2, sun6).

I have attached the complete console output
