OK´, I have a mac here and I will gladly tell you my results. I tried 
accessing http://java.jabber.org/, dunno if this is the version I was 
supposed to test?


Netscape 4.75
*************
Uses JDK 1.1.5; not working; gives this error:
# Applet exception: error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
java.awt.Component: method setSize (II)V not found
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.awt.Component: method setSize (II)V not found

   at org.jabber.applet.JabberApplet.<init>(Compiled Code)
   at netscape.applet.DerivedAppletFrame.run(Compiled Code)
   at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code)


iCab Pre2.4 (mac only browser)
******************************
This uses the Apple MRJ, which in my case contains JDK 1.1.8
Seems to work. However, the same error I have reported at least two 
times is still appearing:
When I click on a menu, it does only appear when I release the mouse 
button. However, it then disappears immediatly again.
This is because MacOS handles menus differently than Windows/X-Win 
does. A possible fix might be to show the menu already after the 
mouse down, not only on mouse up... can't tell if this is actually 
possible, though


Mozilla 0.7
***********
This, too, uses Apple MRJ (i.e. jdk 1.1.8)

The applet seems to load correct. However, I am not prompted to enter 
username/password. The same menu bug as in iCab is present (both use 
MRJ anyway).

As in iCab, one can use the menus provided you are fast enough, since 
the menus stay open for about half a second... however, unlike in 
iCab, this does create no reaction.
