Rich:

Thanks for your answer, but I am not sure I agree.
First of all, are you saying that the only look and
feel that Java applets should use is the metal L&F?
What's so special about it?  If my Windows Netscape
plugin can display the metal L&F ahouldn't, say, the
Linux Netscape be able to use the Windows L&F?

In the metal L&F some sort of neutral ground that all
browsers implement?

I reference to the com/sun/ directories, it turns out
that I already have a set of com/borland/jbcl/ directories
without which my applet will simply not run.
