InvocationTargetException when running applet locally

[Mickey Segal]

Thanks.  I didn't know that some Exceptions were not visible until the trace level was set higher.  

There is nothing here that jumps out to me as something that I can fix, so I will go ahead and file the bug report.  I'll probably wait a day in case anyone else has something important to add.  

Workarounds are welcome at any time, though.

It would be nice to have the ability to add comments to a bug report as we did in the Sun era, since then one could add useful information later.  But at least I can post updates to my version at http://www.segal.org/java/SignedAppletTest/ and reference that in the bug report, allowing both the Oracle people and those doing Web searches to find the problem.

I get this in the detail view:

I got a warning (before the crash) that the permissions settings is  
missing and this might not work in future versions. But it is in the JAR  
(and I added to the applet tag) and it did not help. This version is  
really bad :-/
