[OSM-talk] Any way to reduce editor applet on-screen resolution?

[Nick Black]

Hello Steven,

How did you try running the applet?  I am running Xubuntu Edgy with
the standard java libraries and the applet runs fine.  Did you try the
 runapplet.sh script?  Check out the openstreetmap svn tree, go to
blah/java/ and execute:

$ sh runapplet.sh <you email> <your pass>

and it should run.  If not, post the error messages here.  It sounds
like you only ran the osm-applet.jar file - it depends on several
other libraries that are not compiled  in to the same jar, which could
explain the error.
