[news.eclipse.platform] Eclipse + Swing + Applet

[Ludovic Engrand <the_8tre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm currently developing a Swing App based on the eclipse platform.
I'd like to take advantage of both Swing world AND the eclipse plugin and extension mechanism.

The thing is I'd also need for some obscure legacy reasons to deploy my app both as a standard application as well as a good old Applet.

I know that eclipse app's can be deployed using WebStart (I had a look at WebStartMain in startup.jar) but it's not what I want to do. I really need to stick to an Applet deployment.

I read here and there in the EclipseZone forums that people were able to achieve this kind of deployment but without any further detail than something like : "I did it !" ;)

I'm looking at some pointers on how to achieve this. Please feel free to share any past/current experience on the subject it would be really appreciated :-).

Thanks,
