Is it possible to use JBuilder 2 without Swing?

I started working with our current project in JBuilder 1. I saw that there
was a new version of JBuilder (JBuilder 2) and upgraded. Suddenly everything
had changed (no backwardscompatibility there). Swing was introduced to me. I
was using JBCL controls and now those required Swing because I'm working
with an applet and I was forced to use JApplet instead of Applet to make it
work. I had to rearrange a lot. I had to use different controls because of
the Lightweight - heavyweight issues. After making my applet "compatible"
with JBuilder 2 I discovered that the jar-archive became way too big for an
archive (2 MB). I wish there was a way of using JBuilder 2 without Swing.
I've read in several posts that Swing is not for applets. But if I want to
make an applet? What do I do then? Switch back to JBuilder 1? I really
didn't want to do that because that version was even buggier to work with.
So I decided to use the JBCL archives from JBuilder 1. Then I didn't have to
use Swing. Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble to make an
applet with a decent size on the jar-file? Isn't JBuilder 2 for applets?
Just for applications?
