SYMPTOMS
When creating an empty project for the use of debugging/executing applets especially URLs, the following message always appears:

One or more files are out of date or do not exist. Would you like to build them?



WORKAROUND
To workaround this problem, you can put a dummy .java file with a valid Java class in the project so that the build system has something to build and thus be up to date when the user executes or debugs a URL.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual J++ 1.1.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create an empty Java Workspace.
 * 2) On the Build menu, click Settings. On the Debug tab, select the Browser category, specify the URL of a Web page that contains an applet in the HTML Page field.
 * 3) Enter the class name the .html page loads in the Class for debugging/executing field under the General category.
 * 4) Execute or Debug the Web page.

A dialog box appears with the following message:

One or more files are out of date or do not exist. Would you like to build them?
