Hi,

First, thanks to Wade for http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Using_JOGL_in_a_Java_applet which saved me hours of work.

I wonder if there is a roadmap on the JNLP applet launcher, because I see a couple of things to improve (don't know how hard is the work):
1) support for relative path in the codebase attribute
2) improving progress monitor: it seems the progress bar does not show the complete loading process, since sometime I may wait 1 minute before my own applet actually starts
3) improving error monitor: once something fail, I have no report, and I would like to have a popup explaining the cause (e.g. when I try to load an invalid jar, such as http://jogamp.org/deployment/v2.0-rc10/jar/jogl-all.jar which is a jar containing a jar).
4) simplify the main JNLP (especially the duplicate part)

I can't engage to work on it, but I would like :)

Regards,
Martin
