I tried this on CVS HEAD yesterday. Do you want
to give it a try? You can download the jars in
the places I mentioned.

Okay. I'll rerelease SaveThatCalendar under the
GPL and publish the sources to Nim. I'll have to
change the icon, but that won't be hard.

In the meantime, feel free to use these. I'd be
interested in knowing how you fare with these.
Nim came up with the blue background, but I didn't
see much else, but I might have done something wrong....

There are two other testcases you can use:

- http://www.thisiscool.com/WebAlbum.htm (applet only)
- http://www.thisiscool.com/Num-Num.htm
- http://www.thisiscool.com/triangle.htm

I can't GPL the last two, but feel free to use them.
The Triangle Puzzle is the hardest: it uses threads
and asynchronous image loading, GridBagLayout, CardLayout,
etc. If you guys ever get this to work, I'll fall over
backwards.
