Can't start JWS on Max OS 10.1

843802Nov 27 2001 — edited Jul 2 2003

I have several dozen PCs running Java Web Start sucessfully, and now want to start using it on OS 10.1. However JWS doesn't seem to start correctly.

When I select a web link pointing to a JNLP file, I see the splash screen for a few seconds and then it disappears. When I try to run the Application Manager I get the same result.

I found the javaws.cfg file and added the properties to show the console and log to a file but this did not solve the problem either.

When I run terminal I can successfully run the 'java -version' command (it reports java version 1.3.1), so Java must be installed.

So to summarize: it looks like the mime type is set correctly for the helper app, the javaws.cfg file looks OK, and it appears JRE 1.3.1 is installed correctly. What else could be going on?

Thanks in advance,

Simon.
