Vineet and Rich,

there's a really cool tool which allows you do this.  It also automatically
updates your applet files from the server.  I haven't used it (yet), but I
believe it's a pretty sharp tool.  It's also free and open source.

    http://demo.pssg.com/pvcj/

Caveat is that it runs applets as apps (two-edged sword).  If that caveat works
for you, then I think you'll find pvcj interesting.

Good luck,

= Joe =
