I presume this is the file management applet you're talking about? It's 
still there. There used to be a ridiculously strict requirement for a 
JDK v1.4.0 on the client side and dependancy on a crimson XML parser. 
Since bodington v2.4.0 these dependancies have both gone; for example 
you can use it with JDK 1.5 (and it's internal Xerces parser).

The applet itself hasn't been improved. It's still experimental, but it 
does work (in a roundabout fashion!). If by any chance you're building 
Bodington from scratch you need to sign the applet for it to work, i.e. 
comment out skip.applet.sign in your build.properties, if using the 
build.xml.
