When I tried access sun tea application from within swan using Netscape 6 and
mozilla with Java plugins installed on solaris 2.8 I got the following
error when the suntea applet was started..

changing category to OJI

This is not a Java or OJI bug; the SunTEA applet tries to do an operation that 
is, by default, not allowed to be done in the Java sandbox.  To allow this 
behavior to happen, you much change your personal Java security settings.  Use 
the "policytool" program that comes with the JDK to change your security 
settings so that SunTEA runs for you.
