Problems & Bugs

• MapStudio contains work-around code for the (in)famous "images in JAR-files" bug of some JDKs/JREs. This bug prevents loading GIF-images out of JAR-files from Java applications (not applets!) with the standard mechanisms. MapStudio contains a "secondary image loader" which restores images "manually" from the JAR/Zip-file.
  If all images are missing from MapStudio (no icons in the toolbar, tool-panels and the about-box), please unpack the JAR-file in an directory, move in that directory and start MapStudio with java MapStudio. (and drop the webmaster a line if that happens on a system not mentioned above).
• MapMaster is not designed to be run on a system with only 256 colors. If you try this, rendering errors (in the GUI and in generated maps) are quite likely.
