I’ve been incredibly curious about how to display the download progress of an applet. I’m using Java Web Start, JOGL, and a few other libraries right now, and when I load up my applet it displays a progress bar and the Java logo. What does this progress bar represent, is it the download progress of all my libraries and Jars?
If not, how would I go about setting up a download progress bar for my applet? I’ve looked into class loaders but that seems to cover only the loading of my main applet, and not any libraries it’s using. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of documentation on this issue and I’m really not sure where to start.
Any tips?
