I can see that things like this have been asked, but I can't see a
definitive answer. I can run my applet in a free-standing instance of IE,
which is configured to use the Sun JVM. But when it's called from the IE
instance created by SWT Browser it ignores this configuration and defaults
to the Microsoft JVM. The MS JVM won't run my applet because it throws a
com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Host].
Any way to get the SWT Browser to respect the JVM preference set in IE? Or
a suggested workaround?

Sent that last post before I was finished writing what I wanted to say. The
"Later note" I was starting to add was that when I try to run my two-JAR
applet over the Internet (in SWT or free-standing) I get the same problem,
so apparently it's not the file system issue that I naively imagined might
be the problem. The question remains as to why some applets *do* run fine
in the SWT Browser.

OK, the simplest explanation is that the applets that do work with the
SWT Browser are those that can be run by the MS JVM, and the ones that
don't work are the ones that cannot be run by the MS JVM for whatever
reason.
I'm very aware of the Java 1.1 vs Java2 platform difference, but if that
doesn't apply in this case, then there is some other reason MS JVM won't
run the applet. Something to look into is what HTML tag (<applet>
<object> <embed>) is used to specify the applet.
Anytime the embedded browser uses the Sun or IBM Java plugin on Windows,
the Java plugin returns an error because it cannot start a second JVM in
the current process...
