Janocchio is certainly not my applet! But what one can do is take any applet, and sign it with an application certificate, for local use.  Such a signing does not imply ownership, merely that someone has certified its use outside of the regular Java sandbox.  The reason for signing is normal to ensure that the applet can save to a local file store (not possible with an unsigned applet). A similar approach is adopted for  the Jmol  applet.
