I have a applet which uses Borland's JBCL classes ( Grid Control &
TabPanel).
The size of the jar file is 500k which takes long time ( 3-4  Mins on
26  kbps modem )
How to reduce the initial startup time for the applet ?
Some suggestions on related articles in this newsgroup was :
1) Edit the jar file to remove extra classes using winzip
2) Use Swing classes thereby reducing jar file size by using jdk.12
plugin.
    a)     is there any convertor which converts JBCL classes to Swing.
    b)    Can anyone point to a site with applet which uses swing
classes like JTabbedPane ,  JTable, etc which uses the java plugin
classes of jdk1.2 ?
    c)     If anybody has experience deploying swing classes in applets
please share your experience and give some tips.

3) Does any body know of any third party components ( Tabbed Panel &
GridControl ) which is lighter when packaged in a jar file than a
Borlands JBCL classes ??

Please help !
