ha ! got it working !

how i've done it:
1/ no need to sign anything
2/ start tweaking the demo from the jlwgl applet loader (its in the full build)

Because i don't want 2 specific implementations (versions one for dpt and one for applet)
you can add a switch to know which mode you need to load

Config switch if applet or not:
Config.getInstance().loadOptions(
gc instanceof AppletGameContainer.Container ?
((AppletGameContainer.Container) gc).getApplet() : null);

if isn't an applet i search for the user profile directory to persist (serialize my objects)
related to UAC / administrator rights on your system,

if it is an applet i can't serialize objects because this is out of the sandbox security
BUT !
what you can do is, serialize your objects Base64Endoded to a cookie !
et voila it runs !

get rid of the leading forward slash. So should be something like:

So I had actually tried both with and without the /, but neither worked. I actually finally read the file by moving images into my src directory. So before it was ProjectFolder -> bin, lib, src, images. Moving the images inside of the src let me read the images with

But unfortunately my little directory recursion method isn't working, it cannot create the file object from my directory (throws access denied, but it will through that if the directory doesn't exist as well). I guess the problem is that Eclipse's applet viewer is looking at the project folder, where as the applet loader I have no idea.

In Eclipse, this works:


My guess is that src/ needs to be fixed for it to work as applet. There is probably some combination of .getClass() / .getCodeBase() / .getSource() or something that will let me look at all the files in the directory, so I'll be experimenting with that.

Edit: For some reason, the AppGameContainer doesn't seem to have .getCodeBase(); The API says it does. Any idea why or how to get the code base?

If you're accessing files that are supposed to be located in your project jar, I believe its improper to make a File object to point to it. Instead, you could get a URL:

or an input stream:


Note that new Image() automatically uses getResourceAsStream() to get the picture file.

Well I finally got access to the resources, so technically the game will function on a webpage. The problem now is that I want a list of all the resources so I don't have to manually type in every path for every resource. Is there a way to list all the resources in the directory?
