Bug Description
When I run squiggle, the application starts a splash-screen called "Java Applet Window", which hangs. It prints the following error to the command line:

On the internet, I find more people with the same error (on different operating systems), but I can't find a solution. It seems to have to do with Java's security settings, but I don't understand about these, and I never touched them.
Xubuntu 8.10
sun-java6-jre (6-10-0ubuntu2)
libbatik-java (1.7dfsg-0ubuntu1)
There are two problems here.
1. Missing xml-apis-ext.jar from the classpath in the squiggle launcher file. This is easy to fix.
2. Network access disabled as security policy. I am not sure if it is possible to give full network access so that squiggle doesn't throw that error. Even if it was possible I will have to evaluate that change from security perspective.
Let's hope I will be able to fix both bugs for upcoming Ubuntu release.
