Description Tomas Pavek 2008-07-14 12:48:49 UTC 
Build dev 200807101204, JDK 1.6.0_10-beta-b25, Windows Vista

The new feature (in JDK 1.6 u10) of webstart-able applets supported newly in NB 6.5 is nice, but the project can't be
run if no main class is set. If I set whatever class as main, the project then runs - correctly via Web Start, using
applet viewer. The main class should not be needed (not run anyway), or the applet class should be possible to work as
main class - see issue 139865.

Steps:
- Create a new Java Application project, don't generate the Main class
- Create a new JApplet form
- Make the project webstart-able, configure it to use applet
- Try to run the project - it complains about missing main class however it is not going to run it

Changing the default component owner to tzezula.
Comment 2 Tomas Danek 2012-10-26 11:09:27 UTC 
reproducible, but easy to workaround.
Comment 3 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:39:37 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
