I finally got this to work. 1. upload the java .class file and the .html file referencing the .class file to the Swiki (they must be in the same directory).
2. Make a link to the html file in a manner similar to this: <a href="/recipes/uploads/59/HelloColourSwirl.html">JAVA</a> (here, recipes is the name of the swiki, 59 is the page to which both files have been uploaded.) Click on the link and, all things being equal, the java applet will load. This works fine on Linux with Netscape 4.7* (Comanche 4.10), but there are all kinds of security issues with IE and there may be operational problems with the 6* series of Netscape.
