great effort

well, i have checked this tool by myself,
but i think it is too complicated ..

since gl4java 2.7.1, if gl4java is installed, no more need for 
special privileges (java.policy editing) is needed anymore to run applet's,
since gl4java uses the java2's "AccessController.doPrivileged"  block !
(work's if installed within jre/lib/ext only, of course)

too sun TM'ed ;-), too many user interaction, e.g. you have to install 
java web start, then do some options, the download gl4java, then ...

also, the jar's have to be signed ..

i do not like this product very much ..

anyway, this is just my personal opinion.

cheers, sven
