    Default the infamous null pointer applet problem

    i set up a applet and it worked just fine when i ran it from eclipse , but now that i embedded it in a web page i get a major error , any way i could fix it

    things i have tried
    turned on the next generation applet support
    self signed the applet
    and tried lots of different combos of the html tags to get the least amount of errors possible

    heres a link to the applet and source
    the applet page
    the source zipped

    and heres the full list of errors i got when i tried to run it

    java.lang.NullPointerException
    	at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager.findAppletJDKLevel(Unknown Source)

    It looks like the server you're trying to run your applet on doesn't have all of the necessary class files. Make sure you put everything on there, including an external libraries that you used.

    now that u mention it ( and looking through everything for something that might have been left out )
    i'm almost certain thats what it is

    but how do i get the applet to look for the resource inside of the jar file thats already there
    i recompiled with the missing library included in the jar but it still didnt run properly
