[java] Applet accessing a jar?

why don''t you just put it in the jar?

Because I''m testing and I don''t want to bother with putting it in the jar every time I compile...... ie I''m lazy.

Applets do not have the security privilege to access outside libraries or files if they are loaded over the net.

However, if they are laoded onto your filesystem it is doable.

EDIT:

Okay I got it:

Make an app with an applet as a container.
IE: frame.getContentPane().add(applet)

Make the application able to internally un-jar files so it can view them.

When your application recognises the files "class/source" the application then should either:

Make a temp file of those source/class files.
Or read off them directly.

Hope this helps.

EDIT++:

Errr, you can import the classes in the class source file by including the jar as a package and then go through the package to import the classes.
Hehehe..., I just done that. :lol:

I have a bad habbit of complicating things.
