[Java-gnome-developer] Java applet support

[Kim L. <kl...@tu...>]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the project and could not find any information about
possible support for Java applets. It would be awesome to write
Gnome applets that run in Mozilla. I understand that this would require
the binding libraries to be present in the client computer, but still
I would love it.

I guess the question is: Is it possible even in theory to add Gtk/Gnome
widgets to an applet window?

I think it'd be theoretically possible to create a separate GTK window from
within an applet, assuming the right libraries were linked in and the
security manager was appropriately configured, but my guess is that it
won't be possible to attach GTK widgets to a pre-existing AWT window, such
as would be found within a web page.
