Description:
Using chromium 21.0.1180.89-1 and icedtea-web-java7 1.3-1 many applets don't start. I'm not sure if that's related to the icedtea-web-java7 being outdated or not so I'm filing a bug (package is already flagged outdated ). Additional info: Output of a failing applet: net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Initialization Error: Could not initialize applet. at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.createApplet(Launcher.java:735) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.getApplet(Launcher.java:676) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher$TgThread.run(Launcher.java:886) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: run at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPClassLoader.loadClass(JNLPClassLoader.java:1609) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.createApplet(Launcher.java:725) ... 2 more java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sourceforge.jnlp.NetxPanel.runLoader(NetxPanel.java:154) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:379) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:429) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) Steps to reproduce: Load any of the applet at <http://www.java4k.com> |

You get NPE but this must be due to the Applet itself not finding audio stuff.
I am not a big applet expert but it looks like applets are not correctly embedded in the java4k.com website.

Three combinations at [1] works while "using attributes of object / using params" and "using a nested conbination of attributes of object and params" fail.
Thanks for the tip about audio and java4k.com bad embedding.
Whenever I open a page containing a java applet on chromium I get chromium's yellow tab alerting that Icedtea plugin is outdated and to upgrade it, while not critical and therefore not anymore "high" severity, this is annoying. Can this be fixed by a package mainatiner (icedtea or chromium)?
Good!
>Three combinations at [1] works while "using attributes of object / using params" and "using a nested conbination of attributes of object and params" fail.
Yes, these applet do not show up (could be due to which tags are supported by the browser) but they do not spit any Exception. Firefox displays them OK.

This was just an assumption. Haven't investigated this.

Yes, known bug to be fixed in next Chromium release [0]
Hum I have made the same setup in here [1] (refering to the 'archive' as the jar.pack.gz I downloaded from their website) with the tag they use on java4k and it actually works. So to sum up it really looks like an issue on java4k's side.
