Autoinstalling Java with Applet

I recently finished some work where I rewrote an applet. The applet used to require only Java 1.1; however, because I used Swing instead of the AWT, Java 2 is required to run now. It will run under 1.4.2, but I am afraid that some customers might need to upgrade their Java installation. I found some articles on how to auto-install/update the JRE when launching JNLP applications. Is there a way to do this with applets?

I am sorry. I realize this wasn't the best place for this question. I was trying to find an Applet development forum, but couldn't, so I posted here. However, now I have found an Applet Dev forum. Even so, this question is about applet deployment, and if anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate hearing them. Thank you, and for those interested, the new discussion can be found here:
