James,
Here's my take on it...
I would build all the components and parts of my appl(et/ication)
(appletication?) like normal and simply change the instantiation of the
final class which made use of all those classes.
One option is that your application is culminated in a subclass of frame
which implements runnable. The applet simply creates and shows this frame,
the application does something similar. Would this work?
