AWT and Java 1.1. support

To users:





Do you think Marvin's new versions still need to support the AWT version of the applet?





- Mac OS 9 only supports Java 1.1 that is not compatible with the Swing version. Should we still support OS 9?





- Sun's newer Java versions (1.4+, 1.5+) need to be installed on Windows machines. IE's built in Java is Microsoft JRE 1.1





Java 1.1 and AWT compatibility is really a pain. We would be more productive without it. Opinions?

I don't think you need to support MacOS 9 anymore. You have bigger fish to fry.

We switched to the Swing version. It took some time before we did it, but that wasn't for any particular reason... "if something works don't touch it" I completely support you if you decide to dump the AWT compatibility. We have Sun's JRE as a standard component on all our office PCs. We have different versions of the JRE, inclusive 1.5.0_03.
