10. Problems with current implementations of Java and browsers

• Current Java limitiations - security restrictions may prevent using Flicker runing in your Web browser from:
  1. Reading local files
  2. Reading URLs from remote federated web sites

• Solution: Java programs can run as a stand-alone applications without these security restrictions

• Java interpreter is slow, but just-in-time Java compiles in the browsers are here or are coming

• Memory - image processing takes a lot of memory. Some computers may not have enough CPU and memory resources to work at all or effectively

• Bandwidth - some sites may have very poor internet connections which may make downloading images from web image databases time consuming.

• Web Browsers - some of the older versions of Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer did not handle large Java applications very well and had problems on some computers
