	Kaffe doesn't have full Java 2 support.  The only Java 2
differences I know of are a somewhat different (and better designed)
container library, and Swing.  I can download Swing, and maybe I can get
docs on the new container library and fix Kaffe.

	Because most browsers don't have it built in, so the poor person
who's supposed to look at your applet has to wait for 45 minutes for
Swing to download.

Have fun (if at all possible),
