Package: kaffe
Version: 2:1.1.4.RC1-1
Severity: normal

It seems the appletviewer program included in kaffe currently doesn't work.

For simple demonstration, I pulled some example applet from the web, e.g., 
<http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.2/demo/applets/Clock/example1.html>.
Compile (with kaffe), put the example HTML snippet in a file foo.html, call

appletviewer foo.html

results in

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kaffe.applet.AppletViewer
   at java.lang.Class.forName (Class.java)
   at java.lang.Class.forName (Class.java:44)

This happens for all applets that I have tried.  The Sun JDK's appletviewer
program can display the applets correctly.
