I have some specialized 3D graphing apps that were designed to ruun as applets on a java enabled web browser. When I try and run them in Firefox, Chrome or Opera on Fedora 11 they balk and don't run. A bunch of error messeges come up regarding errors related ot the IcedTea JRE plugin. SAeems that it doesn;t understand some function calls. I tried to upgrade IcedTea but to no avail. Apparently I have the newest version of openjdk (which fuurnishes the IcedTea plugin) for my platform

I did manage to get them to run on the desktop using the command line

$ appletviewer [path to or url of applet]

apparently using appletviewer runs them without resorting to the IcedTea plugin with something that understand the function calls ?

My question being... is there any way to get them to run directly in a browser ? Any way to replace Iced tea plugin with

can't you just disable the plugin in your browser?

Yes, and I can probably set it to launch "appletviewer" to run the java code since that seems to work better than anything else I have here with respect to running applets.
