[Bluej-discuss] Can't start applet using ACM Java Task Force packages

[Bruce Barton]

I have downloaded the file: acm.jar, from the ACM Java Task Force webpage.
I am trying to use it with BlueJ (V2.1.3).
I installed the jar file in the directory:  C:\Program
Files\BlueJ\lib\userlib
When I try to run an Applet (public class acm.program.Program extends
java.awt.Applet) I receive the following message on the bottom of the
AppletViewer window:

exception: access denied (java.io.FilePermission \C:\Program
Files\BlueJ\lib\userlib\acm.jar read).

When I run the program using Textpad or direct from a command window it
works fine.

Any thoughts as to what causes this exception and, hopefully, how to fix
this problem?

Thanks for the help.
