Copy/Paste Function Does Not Work

Java applet security has been considerably toughened since I originally developed Skeddee. If the copy/paste function doesn't work follow these steps:

If your operating system is Windows, using a text editor such as WordPad go to the directory:

c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security  (note if you have a different version of Java jre6 will be different) and load file “java.policy”.

 

If you're not using Windows the directory will be <java version>/jre/lib/security.

 

The contents of the file will look something like this:

 

// Standard extensions get all permissions by default

grant codeBase "file:${{java.ext.dirs}}/*" {

      permission java.security.AllPermission;

};

// default permissions granted to all domains

grant {

      // We're interested in this "grant" unit

      permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.class.version", "read";

…(bunch more of permission statements)…

};

 

As a line before the final "};" add  "permission java.security.AllPermission;" so it looks like this:

 

...

(bunch more of permission statements)

      permission java.security.AllPermission;

};

 

Actually you could place the permission statement anywhere among the permission statements.

 

Save the file.  Start the browser and SkedDee.
