Java Desktop Widgets

80 New Member
I have googled on this topic, but to no avail. Are there Java Desktop widgets that exist that could be used in both Linux and Windows? I found something that looked promising, but it relies on imbedded Internet Explorer, which I do not believe would work in a non-windows operating system. Is there a way to imbed firefox into a java applet?

Isn't Java Supposed to be platform independent (!) so widgets should work accross any platform that was running a sufficient JRE?
