Java Plug-in limitations
The following are the known limitations in Advanced Web Tools, relevant to the Java Plug-in:
• When you launch Advanced Web Tools, if you click another switch in the fabric tree while the Switch
Explorer is loading, a Java exception is generated and the application hangs. This can also happen if
you refresh the browser while the applet is loading.
To correct this situation, wait until the applet has finished loading and stabilizes before refreshing the
