title: Java extensible applet
body: <p>I need to make an extensible applet that will have plugins downloaded from server and included dynamically in my applet.
  I managed to do this locally without an applet, but when I try to port it to the applet I stumble across some problems</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How can I sign my plugins so that it can access resources from client computer?</li>
  <li>I have some external libraries thar are used in the applet and in the plugin, how do I manage those libraries so they can be visible to both applet and plugin?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> I managed to load the jars with a URLClassLoader that has the AppletClassLoader as parent so now the libraries mentioned at point 2 are visible to plugin and applet, the problem that remains is how can i sing my plugins(jars) so that they can access resources on client computer</p>
