Hey everyone I am making my first applet for java today. I have been using a subdomain at a server and I don't know what to do because I am getting this really weird error.
I have my jar in the server and everything but every time I try to load the Applet this happens.
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 218774561 in class file Evolution/EvolutionApplet
Upon research it appears that an incompatible magic value means that something has been corrupted in the .jar
Here is the website http://dementedgames.site88.net/Main.html
the jars name is Evolution if you need the html code it is at the website.
Edit: The applet should be launched from Evolution.EvolutionApplet not Evolution.Evolution
解决方案
The original problem seems fixed now. I could download the Jar from http://dementedgames.site88.net/Evolution.jar
Update
It seems the Evolution.Evolution class is not an applet! Running it from the command line using:
java -jar Evolution.jar
Produces a frame (with a very 'retro' look)! As such, forget this applet nonsense, and launch the frame from a link using Java Web Start.
Old Answer
OTOH it now throws a ClassNotFoundException that (after inspecting the Jar) makes me think it should be:
EvolutionThere are two changes to the code attribute worth noting.
The .class extension was removed. A minor matter, adding it is tolerated, but not correct.
The Applet removed from the class name.
