Applets can *use* native methods, but they can't *load* native
libraries. This means that an applet is stuck with whatever libraries
are already loaded by its environment. This will be documented soon.

There is no IPC support in the beta, or planned for the 1.0 release. The
primary focus of this first release is to support applet and other Internet
development. We hope in future releases to expand Java's capabilities
for general application and server development, but right now the focus
is on finishing what we've started.
