Hi,


After installing the lates jre version suggested by java auto-update (build 1.6.0_15-b03) the following marvin applet refuses to start, and the following error message is displayed in the console:


java.lang.NullPointerException
 at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager.findAppletJDKLevel(Unknown Source)
 at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager.createApplet(Unknown Source)
 at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException


I have tried to clear the cache but without any luck


The solution was not to clear the cache but to untick the 'Enable the next-generation java-plugin' in the java console under advanced->java plug-in.


Is something missin in the marvin applet to support this.? I am on version 5.2.4


regards


Dann

Hi Dann!


We found two things which can cause your problem.


The serious one is described in detail in this topic: http://www.chemaxon.com/forum/ftopic5319.html the less serious one is this Java bug: http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6881931


Since both of them related to the Next Generation Plugin in 1.6.0_15 or hihger versions, the mixture of these issues seem to be the cause of your problem. We will inform our users about the problem we have found in the linked topic.


Best regards,
Istvan
