Running the software

Alternatively the following Java
command can be used:
java -jar AppletPainter.jar
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.
