Why an applet?  If 'launch from link' is the idea, 
Java Webstart (JWS) is a better option.

Here are some examples.

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.
