Re: my chat client is not looking good.

step 1: figure out the swing objects you want to use and the heirarchy 
of those objects
step 2: write the few corresponding xml tags instead of the reams of 
java code.
step 3: sigh in relief when you realize just how much annoyance you avoided.

there's really not much to it. you just have to know what you want in 
swing, which, admitedly, can be a hurdle unto itself.

That and applets are icky. ;) crashed firefox. ajax or flash for web... 
java for serverside and desktop clients... i don't think java applets 
have ever worked out well, not counting a few rare exceptions.
