James,
Isn't there some sort of code you can insert in your Web pages that will prompt the user to download the plug-in? I know HTML converter from Sun does this, but I can't remember if the process is seamless. (it's been a long time... )

Thanks Gerry,
I am interested any improvement on applet, so that we can use swing more easily and improve client programs.
Happy holiday.
