JOSM applet class no longer functional

Well, nothing more to say.

See r1879 for a some improvements:

• no more hacks in the IO subsystem with Sun specific classes
• catches security exceptions in ImageProvider
• catches security exceptions in slipply map chooser
• catches security exceptions when downloading from the API server
• disables open an save button in the toolbar in applet mode

The applet launches and runs but AFAIK I can't download data unless the applet was loaded from api.openstreetmap.org. How can we get it installed there for testing? Or, initially, at least on api06.dev.openstreetmap.org?

Later we could add an applet parameter for a bounding box and include JOSM as alternative to Potlach in the editor tab on  http://www.openstreetmap.org.

Are there other bigger issues than the "download data"? We could add a redirect in josm.openstreetmap.de apache and install applet there, so that access is possible. Every data request would go through josm.openstreetmap.org then but I think for testing that is acceptable.

Last time I have been working on it (4 months ago according to this ticket) I was able to start up the applet. I couldn't run additional tests because it wasn't possible to load data.

Configuring josm.openstreetmap.org (not josm.openstreetmap.de?) as reverse proxy is a great idea.

• the applet could be loaded from, say, http://josm.openstreetmap.de/applet
• the API URL could be, say, http://josm.openstreetmap.de/api/0.6
