fu%$#$ keyboard shortcuts.... I wrote a big post and press back or something and firefox killed all my writings in 1 second....

Well.... first of all, as I said on slick forums:
... all games are working perfectly as independent webstart but not working when using new generation applets. Some old games are working even using that format too.
We cant find the difference between working and not working games.
It should be some new dependency or something we are doing differently inside the game.
We want to discover this applet bug because:
1) we believe using jws should be the right way to deploy our games, how the cache, update and stuff is managed
2) we have all the build and deploy process automated, we deploy for applet and webstart almost without extra cost
3) we cant sleep without knowing what the hell is happening

Of course, we think to use lwjgl applet loader as the first option if we couldn't fix this.
Btw, we have no problems at all using webstart outside the browser.
