Quick Tips

Problems with Illegal Access Error

The documentation suggests that this error occurs because a class with which an applet was compiled does not match the one being executed. This error can be reported when trying to run an applet in the Applet Viewer if the applet contains an event handler derived from awt.listener.

The message is also reported in Netscape Communicator, until the awt.properties file in its Program\Java directory is replaced with the one from JBuilder. However, for some reason, this does not correct the problem for the Applet Viewer.

JBCL Image Resource File Extraction

The JBuilder 2 documentation indicates you must extract the JBCL image resource files into your source path prior to using the Deployment Wizard. But how is this done? From the DOS prompt ($BJB stands for your JBuilder directory, replace it with the actual path when entering the commands; $BJBD stands for the JBuilder drive):

$BJB\bin\setvars $BJB

$BJBD:

cd $BJB\myprojects

jar -xf $BJB\redist\jbcl2.0-rt.jar borland\jbcl\control\image borland\jbcl\view\image

If the command complains, create the specified directories below the $BJB\myprojects directory. It should work then.
