Running the software

Although the majority of applets created use Java 1.1 and with any browser Java VM. AppletPainter itself is written using the Sun Java 2 JDK and users must have at least Java 2 installed on their machine to create the applets. The Java 2 VM is available free at Sun's website.

Known issues

Windows doesn't allow the applet width to be reduced to a very small size.
Combo-Box cannot be selected with a mouse click, use the shift selection button in the toolbar.
Text box component isn't always repainted properly when inserting text.
The QuickTime for Java component still has some problems.

Registering the product

The product can be purchased online with a credit card. Applets are limited to a 72 hour life until the software is registered.

Replacing an old version with a new version

If you want to keep all your existing files then replace only the old version of "AppletPainter.jar" with the new version. Some session settings will be reset when this is done.
