Hi! I've just finished a first version of Jarchive. A Jarchive (Java
archive) is a class which stores multiple byte arrays, similar to a
tar file. It can read and write itself using streams, and can
therefore be written to a file and read from a URL. This is useful
because you can fetch a single Jarchive containing 10 GIFs, rather
than having to download 10 separate GIFs. This should almost always
improve an applet's load time.
The source and API are available, along with a sample applet (based on
Animator), at:

Thanks!
