I have no problems at home, where I don't use a proxy! This is only a problem at work, where I've configured proxies for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SOCKS with Automatic Proxy Configuration selected. Now, for why this seems to be a proxy issue. Note that Java itself seems to be working fine: (i) Processing (which uses the JDK, I think) continues to work (ii) typing java -version into Terminal gives the correct version (iii) Java works in Windows.In Java Preferences, tried (i) turning "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications" off and on (ii) clearing cache via "Delete Files…".In Safari, tried (i) turning "Enable Java" off and on (ii) clearing caches via "Reset.Reinstalled Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1.A page with an applet will reserve a space for displaying that applet, but nothing shows up and the page hangs (I can't scroll, for instance). Here's a list of the problems/evidence, and what I did to try fixing them (all attempts at which have failed except where noted). Windows VM: VMware Fusion 4.1.1, Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, IE 9.0.4, Java 1.6.0_30, and Processing 1.5.1


I came across this problem while trying (and failing) to run Processing-generated Java applets in Safari. I'm stuck on what appears to be an issue with the accessibility of system proxy settings by other programs.
