This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
If the working dir is specified, the appltviewer is not able to find generated applet security policy file, and many operations (such as creating threads, etc.) will fail with security exception. This issue is also present in noremal applet execution.
Fixed in M8. The appletviewer is started with absolute path to the generated polivy file. The policy file is generated into the build folder (together with the generated HTML file), or copied here from the project root (which seems to be a location assumed by J2SE project to be standard place to look for it).
Verification of old issues.
Closing old issues.
