You’re going to ask yourself, “What’s the point?” And, sure, go ahead. Take a minute. But, wow. What’s key: This doesn’t hit the server.

Update: If you want to give the applet access to your filesystem so you can use it for reals, here’s a ~/.java.policy file for you. You’ll need to restart your browser.

grant codeBase "http://www.headius.com/-" {
 permission java.io.FilePermission "<>", "write, read";
 permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read, write";
};
