Perhaps there might even be an easier path to take before embarking on moving 
KJAS into QtWebKit... Right now the biggest issue is the fact that QtWebkit 
does not even given client applications a chance to handle java applet support 
through QWebPluginFactory::create. Well I now have a patch pending upstream 
that attempts to remedy this problem [1]. If this patch gets accepted 
upstream, then KJAS integration can be tested against kdewebkit first which 
should pave the way for easier upstream inclusion...
