Graphical Applet
The following system configurations are officially supported by the Weblab development team (we are confident that they work, and we will do our best to help you get them to work if you are having trouble):
- MIT Athena Computing Environment (Sun and Linux based machines only)
- Mozilla, with default Athena settings
- Windows 2000, XP
- Netscape 4.7 (or newer) with Java Plugin 1.4.2 or greater
- Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer), with Java Plugin 1.4.2 or greater
Unofficially, the applet has been used in a variety of other browsers. In particular, Debian running its install of Firefox, with the latest Java plug-in from Sun's web site, is also known to work.
Classical Applet
Although we believe this applet to be compatible with any Java-enabled browser, we have not yet had a chance to perform exhaustive testing. Also, some older browsers may have compatibility problems with the service broker website itself. So far we have verified that the client works with the following browser configurations:
- Windows 2000, XP: Java Plugin 1.4.2 or greater with Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or Internet Explorer 6.0
- Solaris: Java Plugin 1.4.2 or greater with Mozilla 1.7.5
- Linux: Java Plugin 1.4.2 or greater with Mozilla 1.7.5 (caveat: on some linux installations the fonts appear very large, which may make the applet harder to use)
