WebObjects 4: Using JavaClient with Internet Explorer under Mac OS 8.6

Q: I'm using JavaClient in my WebObjects application, but Internet Explorer version 4 on Mac OS 8.6 won't run my JavaClient components. How can I configure Mac OS 8.6 and IE to run my application correctly?
A: To use JavaClient on Mac OS 8.6, you will need to install the correct versions of MRJ and the Swing libraries. You need MRJ version 2.1.2 or later and Swing version 1.0.3 or later. You should be able to find links to both from Apple's web site at:

Next, open the Preferences panel in Internet Explorer (under the Edit menu) and select "Java" to bring up the Java preference panel. Select the new MRJ version as your Java virtual machine and add the swingall.jar file to your classpath. WebObjects Java client applications should now work correctly.
