I would like to insert a java object - a jar file - on a slide. This is a java object that is on a CD and usually opens in an html page in a browser. I would like to run it inside CourseLab in a slide. Is this possible and how do I do it?
I have tried to insert it, using the Java object, and it has even copied the particular .jar file to the local images folder, but it is not active when I view the slide.

Hi, Marius

Perhaps this applet uses some additional files which were not copied to images folder (JAR itself is not parsed by CourseLab, therefore additional files are not copied)? Please try to insert them in additional files list of the Java object.

Hello Slav and Nick
Just to say that I am not pursuing this route any further. There obviously are complications that I don't understand yet. I will try to solve my problem in a different way.

Hi Marius,
I assume that this jar can be run normally on your PC outside of courselab from desktop or folder??
I'm hoping you'll say yes to this which removes the blindingly obvious first error.
It would be worth while having the java console open while you try to run this, you should get some diagnostics back as it steps through the jars startup. This might indicate what's going wrong and if any support files are missing.

You might need to explicitly invoke the jar from within courselab. Probably an onload javascript action something like
-jar thejarname.jar ought to give the system enough of a kick to work.
