Applet Runner 2.6

I’ve just released Applet Runner and Applet Runner Pro version 2.5.

Applet Runner is a plugin for JetBrains IDE’s (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, …), Eclipse and NetBeans that allows to run applets in embedded your IDE. Applet Runner Pro offers more possibilities like running the applets in a standalone application, customizing the toolbar, define a start-up url, restrict applets to a whitelist domain or blacklist based on regular expression.

What’s new in 2.6:

  • Fixed missing YAML Viewer in bookmarks
  • Fixed typo for action: AddBookmarks -> AddBoomark
  • Removed experimental Ant Commander Pro applet link as trial was finished
  • Removed experimental JMeter applet link
  • Improved error message when file does not exist
  • Improved error message when Applet class is not found
  • Improved error message when compilation of java class failed
  • Show error message on panel when starting-up applet fails
  • Call close applet if start-up of the applet fails
  • Various small improvements and bug fixes in the application framework
