Please let me know >whenyou have resolved this problem. Will do. It seems to be a problem only with Solaris/SPARC systems. It used to work. What version of Solaris are you running? >> Also, please note that the IDV will not work with Java version 1.5. > >According to your launch file, it requires "1.4+", which includes 1.5. >What exactly doesn't work with 1.5? We were just discussing that this morning and are looking at solutions. The jython.jar is incompatible with 1.5. >I will give that a try when other possibilities have been exhausted. In general, unless you are going to be using a lot of web based bundles, we suggest using the InstallAnywhere version because Web Start causes headaches of the type you are seeing.
