You have been bitten by Sun Microsystems rather sloppy testing and slow
maintenance process.
I will probably catch a lot of flak for saying this, but I don't see that
any
other face can be put on it.
Between the time we finished testing NetView 6.0 and it went out to
customers,
about 60 to 90 days, Sun replaced their Swing client with a new one, which
is,
unfortunately, broken.  So the one you downloaded does not work,  Contact
NetView Support and they can give you the previous one, which does, while we
all
wait for Sun to get a sense of urgency and fix this.  Our lawyers say we
cannot
ship the Swing thing because it is theirs, depite the fact that anyone can
download it.  But we can provide a copy of the one we tested with in order
to
get you moving again.  It is a Severity 1 issue for Tivoli/IBM but not,
apparently, for Sun, despite the fact that it gives the whole idea of a java
client a black eye.  You'd think they'd be more responsive.

I love this business.

Just finished migration to NV6.0 for AIX.  Everything went smoothly.  On
glitch: I followed the instructions to enable the webserver in the Release
Notes.  I am using a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 system running IE 5.0.  I
followed the instructions to test for the Swing plugin and that was
successful.  I then opened http://host:8080/NetViewApplet.html and logged
in.  When I select File->Open Map -> double cliick on my map, I get a window
that has two columns: one says "left button" and the other says "right
button," but I get no submap.  What am I missing?  How can I fix this?

TIA

Mahesh
