I'm really stoked that this is available for Alpha, but I'm having some
problems.  When I run "appletviewer", it crashes every time I click
"accept" with an exception dump similar to this:

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/Date
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
        at java.text.MessageFormat.format(MessageFormat.java)
        at java.util.Properties.save(Properties.java)
        at java.text.MessageFormat.format(MessageFormat.java)
        at sun.applet.AppletCopyright.action(AppletCopyright.java:99)
        at java.text.Format.format(Format.java)
        at java.awt.Component.handleEvent(Component.java:2444)
...

and more follows.  It seems no matter which applet I try (in the
demo/applets dir), the NoClassDefFoundError is always java/util/Date.  The
file classes/java/util/Date.class does exist and is readable.  My JAVA_HOME
is set to the location I untarred all this stuff, and my CLASSPATH is ".".
I am running "appletviewer example1.html", for instance.

Any ideas?
