Description Omry Yadan

I have an applet that takes many parameters from a properties file.
It would be great if I could use that properties file as an input for the 
applet (instead of entering all the parameters manually)
it would be nice (although the first option is preferred) if I could import the 
properties file into the java applet run configuration.

just a clearification:
My applet takes parameters from the Applet tag, of course - not from the 
properties file.

applet launching is contributed by JDT-Debug.

Being able to point an Applet launcher to a HTML file is a common function in 
Java IDEs.

True.
but entering parameters into a properties file (key = value) is much more 
convenient than entering them into an applet tag 
(<param name="key" value = "value">)
of course, some applet parameters does not belong to the parameters file, such 
as size and class, as they are parameters for the launcher and not for the 
application - as I see it, those should come from the gui.
