Accessible Java development tools

Hi Everyboddy,
I'm sorry if someone has answered this already.  Personally  I don't like 
the jdk very much because of the difficulty of installation.  I use 
instead gcj the gnu java compiler.  It will compile in code native to the 
machine you are running on, or write java class bytecodes that 
theoretically anybody from any machine can execute.  This all runs fine 
and is perfectly accessible.

However, I'm not aware of any way to execute java applets in a web page 
that will make them accessible.  This is because as far as I know the only 
web browser under Linux that supports java is Netscrape.  That runs under 
X.
Also, GNU Java hasn't implemented the AWT toolkit yet.  Presumably that'll 
run under X as well.
