Actually I make Applets to launch SWT programs!
Basically Applets just have a simple AWT button for
program launch.

When pressed, it will call the main method that initiate SWT program.
I noticed that multiple instances causing problems. Controlling to 1
I could remove side effects. But I am not sure wheher other
SWT programs will intefere. If so, there should be a SWT level
convention to control the situation.

A final note: must launch from a new
thread! Otherwise, browser will never get until SWT programs
closed.
