Just a side note. It's rather easy to remote debug applets.

Configure the Java plugin to allow remote debugging. You do it in different ways in different platforms, but it will be something like this on windows. Start the control panel, select java. Click around till you find VM options, and add these VM arguments:

-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=6789,suspend=n

6789 will be the debug port.

Starting the remote debugging in Eclipse is done by doing something similar to. Debug configurations, Remote Java Application, Create a new configuration. Select Standard (Socket Attach) as connection type, and enter locahost as address and 6789 as port.
