Maplet applications are displayed by a Java [TM] program separate from the Maple kernel and user interface.  This Java program is launched by Maple the first time a Maplet application is displayed.  In rare circumstances, the Java program starts, but fails to establish a connection with Maple.  After n seconds, Maple aborts the Maplet application execution and raises an error.

The default timeout value is 90 seconds.  Usually, the Java Maplet application manager takes only a few seconds to start.  The default is set to a high value to ensure normal operations are not impeded on slow or heavily loaded machines.  It is not set to an infinite value so that Maple can resume control in abnormal situations.

The previous timeout value setting is always returned.

If called with no arguments, the current setting is returned.
