Well Java plugin and or Java webstart are the common way to do this.
But if you can't stand such requierement, here come a workaround:
This solution is compliant with the java plugin one.
Step one
Unzip the swing jar or rt.jar and put all the swing class on your http
server document root near your applet class.
Browser will just download needed class instead all swing package.
Step two
To optimize a bit you can look in your http web server'slog and gather all
requested swing class in your jar or a new one according that your browser
support multi Jar.
With this solution user will download a swing class but less than the 5Mb
swing jar file
Hope it help.
