Description davidparks 2008-05-26 04:03:00 UTC 
Lookup.getDefault() throws a security exception in an applet now because it tries to access the System.getProperty()
function.  Since that's a singleton, you're basically out of luck trying to use it in an applet.  The function should
probably check the security settings before calling getProperty (or catch the exception).

OK. Can you provide patch? I am not going to fix it myself.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2009-03-09 16:50:36 UTC 
No patch provided. Ignoring as not productive complaint.
