/**
 * @short A widget for displaying Java applets
 *
 * KJavaAppletWidget provides support for the inclusion of Java applets
 * in Qt and KDE applications. To create an applet, you must first create
 * a context object in which it will run. There can be several applets and
 * contexts in operation at a given time, for example in a web browser there
 * would be one context object for each web page. Applets in the same context
 * can communicate with each other, applets in different contexts cannot.
 * Once you have created a KJavaAppletContext, you can create as many
 * applets in it as you want.
 *
 * Once you have created the applet widget, you should access the applet() method
 * to call the various setXXX methods to configure the applet,
 * They correspond to the HTML tags used to embed applets in a web page.
 * Once the applet is configured, call the create() method to set things in motion.
 * The applet is running when it first appears, but you can start or stop it
 * when you like (for example if it scrolls off the screen).
 *
 * This widget works by using the KJavaAppletServer, which fires off a
 * Java server process with which it communicates using the
 * KDE Java Applet Server (KJAS) protocol over stdin and stdout.
 * The applet windows are swallowed and attached to the TQWidget, but they are
 * actually running in a different process. This has the advantage of robustness
 * and reusability. The details of the communication are hidden from the user
 * in the KJASAppletServer class. Normally only a single server process is used for
 * all of the applets in a given application, this is all sorted automatically.
 * The KJAS server is 100% pure Java, and should also prove useful for people
 * wishing to add java support to other systems (for example a perl/Tk binding
 * is perfectly feasible). All you need to do is implement the protocol and
 * (optionally) swallow the applet windows.
 *
 * The applet support in KDE is still dependent on the KWin Window Manager.  The
 * applet swallowing will not work under other Window Managers.  Hopefully this
 * will be fixed in the future.
 *
 * For a description of the KJAS protocol, please see the KJAS_GRAMMAR.txt file.
