    /**
     * @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 QWidget, 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.
