Let me know if you get an answer to this one.
Are you creating your own native HWNDs too? I've had trouble
with that since an HWND is owned by the native thread it was
created in, and applets are initialized in a transient thread (so
the HWNDs are destroyed as soon as the thread returns). How does
the AWT manage to get all it's HWNDs owned by the "AWT WServer
Thread"?

The DLLs are in \hotjava\bin. javai.dll contains
execute_java_constructor and execute_java_dynamic_method. You
can use VC++ to create an import .LIB from the DLL by creating a
.DEF file and using LIB /DEF. See

for instructions.
