Hello!

We don't use code from or share code with Sun JDK (or any other Java implementation, fwiw)
because it is not GPL'ed yet.

We will, when Sun will open the JDK, but this is taking time. For your problem
there are a couple of solutions, for example, use firefox in 32 bit mode (I know
it is ugly, you could install a local copy of firefox for example).

You should search the net for details.

What fails? Can you file a bug report, provide stack traces of the
errors? Something that could help us to understand the problems and try
possible solutions. There is no guarantee that we will success, maybe
these applets use code that is somewhat specific to Sun Java, or that
Classpath is so broken that we will never be able to fix it, but just
saying that it does not work, usually does not make it working [1] :)

Seriously, if you could file a detailed bug report this would be of
great help.

An hint, have you tried to load the applet with gappletviewer?

This can be a problem with Firefox (yeah, ok, I'm just trying to defend
Classpath, you can skip the last line)...

You're welcome!

[1] It seems that this only happen to me, sometimes programs that refuse
to work for some unknown reason work again after a cup of coffe... or
viceversa...
