separate process for running applets
« on: Jan 3rd, 2004, 1:01am »

I am currently working on an applet that hangs Processing (not intentionally, obviously). The problem is a Java thing which I'm looking into, but that's irrelevant. Whenever I go to run the applet, Processing hangs and I have to force quit it, and I lose my changes if I haven't saved.
 
It would help this problem if Processing launched a hidden program for running applets, similar to programs like REALbasic or MPlayer.
 
This would be advantageous in many ways, but the biggest one would be that if the applet should hang, you could force it to stop without losing any work.

in a lot of cases, it does use a separate process. but in fact, the hanging problem you describe exists on the IDE side, so it's crashing itself because of an error message coming through strangely.  
 
i finally found the problem a week or two ago, so it's been fixed for 68. unfortunately 68 has a million billion changes in it so it's taking a while to get it out the door.
