Further on this: it turns out that on OS X, it was harder than I expected to satisfy condition (2). The 'Enable java' checkbox in the Safari Preferences dialog did not suffice; I had to install the Java 6 plugin (which I was prompted to do by clicking on the words 'inactive plugin' displayed over the web page). A similar sequence of actions was needed for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Once I had installed the Java plugin in each of my browsers, and restarted them both Alain's test case (now on my server at http://blackmesatech.com/2012/07/dh/applet-test.xml) and Andre Cusson's StratML editor (at http://www.hyperbase.com/library/hyperform/stratml/asset/xml/4psc.xml) began to behave as expected. That is, the buttons that connect to file: URIs open a file dialog box. (It was mystifying when it didn't work, partly because -- as others have also reported -- the browsers' error messages are not very helpful in making clear to the user what is going on.)
