If you're writing applets (not applications) for the Internet (not an
intranet), be prepared for trouble when using swing.  Not all browsers
support it (in fact, I don't think any do at this point) - you either
provide the swing classes in a jar or force the user to use the Java
plugin.  For the former- transmission is slow over a modem; for the
latter- the user must install the plugin (but this is the best route).

JBuilder puts swing in its jar files, unless you write each file from
scratch without using any of JBuilder's code generation (which relies on
swing).
