[Bluej-discuss] Conflicts with firewall and BlueJ

[Eugene Nutt]

I use zone alarm with BlueJ on Windows XP:
  
  ZoneAlarm version:6.1.744.001
  TrueVector version:6.1.744.001
  Driver version:6.1.744.001
  
  Upon invoking BlueJ version 2.1.3 I Allow java.exe and javaw.exe in response to the ZoneAlarm Security Alerts. 
  
  You might have a problem if you Deny Java and JavaW to act as a server.  However, I have denied both and it, BlueJ, seems to work fine  (foxesandrabbits simulation)..

    I have recently downloaded and  installed Java SDK and BlueJ as instructed, but when I try to run BlueJ, the opening  window shows the title bar, but no menus.
    By clicking in the top left hand  corner I can modify the window size and cause more of the window to become  visible, although I still cannot interact with any of the menus or buttons.
     
    When I disabled my firewall (Zone  Alarm 6) [with my PC disconnected from the wireless network for security] and reopened  BlueJ everything seems to work fine.
    I thought I’d try to be clever  (Foolish me!) and enable the Windows firewall instead – but this also stopped  BlueJ working as well.
     
    Obviously I cannot work without an  active firewall, but I also want to use BlueJ at the same time, so can anyone  suggest a suitable way to rectifying this problem?
     
    Thanks :-)
     
    David
