I'm experiencing some interesting results when trying to use several
archive ( jar )
files to resolve all needed classes for an applet. Eventually, the
browser JVM will
not be able to find certain classes that exist in the jar files. The
results are sporadic
and never fails looking for the same class. For example, sometimes it
cannot find
swing classes that are within swingall.jar......then, during the next
run, this may not
be a problem whatsoever.

Interestingly, when I extract the jar file to produce individual .class
files, this problem
doesn't occur, though it obviously slows things down considerably.

I'm using Netscape 4.5.1 ( JIT 1.5 ) with Apache.

Hmmm.
