Marcus:

The fastest way to do this, overall, is to not use JFC in your Applets. 
None of the browsers support JFC (or a JDK higher than 1.1.5) out of the
box which means you force your users to:

1.  Download rt.jar or swingall.jar to run your Applet (about 2.5M)
2.  Use the Plugin, which isn't designed for Internet use
3.  Use an unstable beta of NS6 (no IE, here).

Like you can cram a V8 into a VW Bug, you can make JFC work in a
browser.
