Well, I don't think it exists yet. But if you want to start developing applets....

I would suggest, do so ! You don't have to worry about it, Yahoo! Games use Java Applets for their online games. By the way, you might want to see the totals of online players there just to have a reference of how many users already have Java Plugins installed ....

And today, Java supports remoting. Which means, you can deliver Applets to platforms that don't have Java Plugin installed (it's a bit advanced, I am not there also...lol)...

Cheers,
Chris

You might want to look at the 4th page. I added another link where you could learn Java for free. Really free !!! And anyway, instead of Applets, many developers today are looking forward to AJAX. Since applets are quiet slow.
