Fair enough.. :) I haven't had much experience with applets on OSX, so I'm not sure what the state is on this platform either. I've also been playing with a 100% Javascript version of the OOPHM client stub as well, but it's been put on hold now that I've fixed the bug in the binary component that was stopping me from instantiating it from chrome:// documents. It basically uses GWT and some XPCOM bindings that I've generated for our product previously to implement the client side of things. It might be a good alternative to having a binary component for FF, which is by far the browser that requires the most cross-platform compilation. It's no more than a proof-of-concept right now, but if there's interest from others I can share the code and/or work on completing it. Since it's written using GWT, it's just a matter of porting the current server-side BrowserChannel over.
