🚀 go-pugleaf

I just D/L'd the new Java-Plugin v1.3.0.1 (j2re-1_3_0_01-win.exe)
The new version of the plug-in enhances debugging greatly.  It provides 
a visual error dialog with the error description.  It also allows 
greater interaction with the debugging console.

As a result of this fruitful upgrade when the applet I am having 
problems with is launched outside the JBuilder IDE in an external 
browser, it now displays an error dialog with the following error:

The dialog is entitled : "Java Plugin Exception Dialog"
with an error message of ....

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/borland/jbcl/layout/VerticalFlowLayout"

I did try changing the layout type for every component in the project to 
NULL.  When I load the applet in Netscape's browser externally it does 
not display the error.  The combobox's drop down also displays in the 
correct position!!!

Being new to Java I do not know how to resolve this.

I am using the JBuilder Enterprise version.  Can someone please offer me 
some insight?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Reid Roman
