hi hendrik,

on os-x you can use safari (not sure about ff) and the console (/applications/utilities/console). java-applets will log their errors there.

or even better:
in the terminal change directory to you applets folder then run:
appletviewer <filename>.html
( replace <..> with the actual name )
if the applet fails to run / load then you will see the error in the terminal ..

best,
F

dont worry, figured it out, stupid me forgot to add the package name in the html file. maybe a suggestion for improvement of the buildfile, that it should check the package name of the main class...
anyway, im happy now.

Hello all,
This has helped me getting applets compiled in eclipse, but what about full applications?  Do you *have* to include referenced libraries in  [path to j2sdk]/lib?  I haven't, and trying to compile Toxi's tutorial as an application gives me the following error:


java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloP5

at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at processing.core.PApplet.main(PApplet.java:6605)

at processing.HelloP5.main(HelloP5.java:8 )

I reverted from jsdk 1.5 to 1.4.2, I'm running Processing 0124 on XP, and Eclipse 3.2.2.  When I [Run...]--> and check the classpath, core.jar IS included; in the pre-build menu, I have [processing package]/HelloP5 listed as the main class, as well.  My HelloP5 code is as follows:

<code>
package processing;

import processing.core.*;

public class HelloP5 extends PApplet{


static public void main(String args[]) {

   PApplet.main(new String[] { "HelloP5" });

}  


public void setup(){

 size(1000, 600);

 stroke(155,0,0);

}


public void draw(){


line(mouseX,mouseY,width/2,height/2);

}

}  
</code>

I still get the alert "Could not find the Main Class."  Any clues?  I'm not new to Java, but I'm certainly new to Eclipse (I took a Java class in JBuilder).  I'm also getting a slightly different error now:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: processing/HelloP5 (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

There's no way that PApplet doesn't allow full application compilation, is there?
Thanks,
Myer
