pCSDT Prototype is online

The prototype has been uploaded to http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~yildih2/testpcsdt/pcsdt.html
We used JNLPAppletLauncher to deploy the pCSDT applet to the web. Here is how it is described in its website.

"
The JNLPAppletLauncher is a general purpose JNLP-based applet launcher class for deploying applets that use extension libraries containing native code. It allows applets to use extensions like Java 3D, JOGL, and JOAL very easily, with just a few additional parameters to the applet tag, on Java SE versions as far back as 1.4.2.

Like Java Web Start, the JNLPAppletLauncher uses an extension's .jnlp file to locate the native resources for a given extension. The applet developer only needs to specify the platform-independent .jar files containing the .class files for the extension. The platform-specific "nativelib" .jar files are downloaded automatically from the same server that hosts the extension's Java Web Start binaries.

Extensions that support JNLPAppletLauncher include Java 3D, JOGL, and JOAL."

It seems more convenient to use JNLPAppletLaunched instead of JoglAppletLauncher which was used in Breakdancer applet. So I created a copy of Breakdancer using JNLPAppletLauncher at this URL. That version of applet is a bit enlarged to display the whole body-parts tree.
