Working with Java Applets

---

If you are going to use Robot with Java applets, follow these simple instructions.

By default, Java testing is disabled in Robot. To enable Java testing, you need to run the Java Enabler. The Java Enabler is a wizard that scans your hard drive looking for Java environments, such as Web browsers and Sun JDK installations, that Robot supports. The Java Enabler only enables those environments that are currently installed.

If you install a new Java environment, such as a new release of a browser or JDK, you must rerun the Enabler after you complete the installation of the Java environment. You can download updated versions of the Java Enabler from the Rational Web site whenever support is added for new environments. To obtain the most up-to-date Java support, simply rerun the Java Enabler.

Running the Java Enabler

1. Make sure that Robot is closed.

2. Select Start → Programs → Rational Robot → Rational Test → Java Enabler.

3. Select one of the available Java enabling types.

4. Select the environments to enable.

5. Click Next.

6. Click Yes to view the log file.

   Note 

   If the Java Enabler does not find your environment, you must upgrade to one of the supported versions and rerun the Java Enabler. For a list of supported environments, see Supported Foundation Class Libraries link under the program's Help menu.
