That's exactly what Netbean has done in my case (the Project's Jar
file is in the dist folder and the library jar files are in the
subfolder lib). On the other hand the html file calling the java
applet is in the build folder with a subfolder that contains the
applet.class file.
You may find it useful to enable the Java Console in your browser. On my
platform, this is done using the Java Preferences application.
Do I have to somehow merge these two folders? And why do I really
have to edit the html file so that it includes the Jar files?
Your HTML file has to reflect the locations of your applet class and any
associated jars. In this case, the JFreeChart & JCommon libraries are
required. Given a project named scratch, here is a typical applet tag
and corresponding class declaration:
<applet width=500 height=400
code="chart.ChartApplet.class"
archive="dist/scratch.jar,
dist/lib/jcommon-1.0.15.jar,
dist/lib/jfreechart-1.0.12.jar">
</applet>
package chart;
...
public class ChartApplet extends JApplet {
public void init() {
this.add(new RandomWalk());
}
}
class RandomWalk extends ChartPanel {
...
}

Thanks! That works all fine now. However, it means that when I upload
the files the users end up downloading the whole jFreeChart.jar and
jCommon.jar files although only a fraction of them is used. I noticed
that NetBeans creates another Jar File with the name of the project.
Isn't that a compressed version of the classes that are accessed in
the libraries from my program? Would it be possible to use only this
file to start the applet without all the library jar files? If so,
what would I have to put into the archive tag in the html file and
would I still need to upload the .class file? Or is the .class file
included as well in the project .Jar file?
thanks!
