Trick not working

Posted by Sachin on December 24, 2001 at 1:47 AM

This is the perfect way to create a jar file, but it is not working with my applet.
If it works only with applications then pl. mention it also.
I think this trick works only with Java Applications with main function.

if U know how to make my applet running without a browser, then pl. mail me back at
sachin@malhotra.inbox.as

Thanks
Sachin
