Potentially, but you risk removing too many.

They use Swing underneath, you cannot replace them with pure
Swing. Also, the 1.2 Plugin ships with Swing 1.1, using a different
naming convention than the 1.03 that JBCL is based on.

Your best bet is either to:
1) Use MSIE, unpack the JAR and create a CAB instead: it compresses to
about half the size of the JAR.
2) Utilize the auto-install features of the two browsers (also
involves creating a CAB for MSIE), thus reducing the startup time the
next time the applet is used.
