Applet without plugin
Is it possible to run an applet using Jfreechart without the plugin? I know is uses java2d. I want my applet to work on as many systems as possible, and I've been avoiding Swing for that reason. Is there any use avoiding Swing if i need the plugin anyways?

No. JFreeChart uses Java2D extensively, and Swing a little - both were introduced in JDK1.2.
Lots of people develop with servlets so they can avoid all these compatibility issues...it is a shame, because applets can be quite effective for certain applications.
On my system (SuSE Linux), only the Konqueror web browser is configured for applets, because I could never be bothered downloading the plugin for Mozilla. Konqueror appears to just use the JDK already installed on your system - how easy is that! I like Konqueror a lot (even though I use GNOME not KDE)...

Re: Applet without plugin
Thanks!
I have a follow up question:
Would it be possible to get JFreeGraph to work on java 1.2.1 or are there many features that requires newer version.
