Sun's support of applets is less than enthusiastic.
I suspect they have put the host of applet problems
into the "too hard and won't everybody just make
AJAX based web-apps. instead?" basket.


The easiest way to develop applets is to make a
combined applet/application, an applet that can
be launched in a (J)Frame is a lot easier to debug
(in your IDE, with breakpoints).

Then once the application is nominally working,
run a few tests on a number of browsers (and ideally)
OS's, just to check the applet does not fall afoul
of any of the many problems that are caused by
interactions with a VM via a browser (and which
cannot be really reproduced in anything but 'that
version of that browser')


After reading your posts, I am still not clear
on either what the applet needs or what, indeed
the problem is that you are investigating
(and having that information clear, would
probably help the quality of the answers.)


I cannot see that VJ++ could do anything here,
that other tools could not do better.
