SWT would be a problem in applets, AFAIU. There is the huge SWT library to either install, or download on the fly, before the applet could ever appear. SWT should be quite easy to deploy for JWS launched apps. or applets, possibly requiring signed code(?). (I do not have any direct experience with SWT) Swing would be the most usual option, these days, and for plug-in versioning, JWS also ensures the Java version used is at least the minimum version required to run the app. -- Andrew Thompson http://www.athompson.info/andrew/ Message posted via http://www.javakb.com --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
