Enabling Use of Sun Java Plug-In

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

To use the JRE for running Java applets in any of our supported browsers, you must enable use of a plug-in and your applet must explicitly request to run in the Java plug-in.

To enable use of a plug-in:
  1. Make sure you have installed the Java plug-in for each of the supported browsers you want to use for testing.
  2. In the Silk Test Classic menu bar, click Options > Extensions. The Extensions dialog box opens.
  3. In the Application column, click one of the browsers for which you installed the Java plug-in. If not enabled, then select Enabled from the list box in the Primary Extension column.
  4. In the Options section of the Extensions dialog box, click Extension.
  5. Check the Enable use of Java plug-in check box, and then click OK.
  6. Repeat the steps 3–5 for the other supported browsers.
  7. Click OK to close the Extensions dialog box.

You can designate the JRE that the plug-in uses by clicking Start > Settings > Control Panel > Java Plug-in and selecting the JRE on the Advanced tab of the Java Plug-in Properties dialog box. Make sure that the appropriate Silk Test .jar file is accessible to the plug-in. For additional information, see Configuring Standalone Java Applications and Java Applets.
