Possible improvement: Java Applets in Konqi

[Till Krech]

Hi,

After having some problems with applets in konqi, I looked into the java code  
of the kde applet server (kdelibs/khtml/java). 
please have a look at this link, where you find a patch against current HEAD 
and a kjava.jar to play with:

Without the patch, the applet server loads classes, resources etc. via 
stdin/stdout pipe to konqueror. Resources in jar files cannot be loaded. Some 
applets crash with a ClassCastException. 
With the patch, the whole code is simplified and uses the java builtin 
URLConnection. It handles jar files correctly and should be faster.

The patch is far from being complete and is only tested with j2sdk1.4.0. Some 
work still has to be done but I would like to hear your opinion.

greetings till
