using java applet in google app engine project

I have a question about using java applet on google app engine. I created 2 classes called InteractiveGraphView1 and SimpleApplet. Using an object of InteractiveGraphView1 inside SimpleApplet. Anyway, I'm using some external jars for these 2 classes. I created a jar for my project called "GraphApplet". Then I put this jar into WEB-INF/lib and also I add it into gae project as external jar. To be sure I also added external jars that I used in GraphApplet class into my gae project. I deployed the gae project and when I tried to run applet it gives me this error:

load: class SimpleApplet.class not found.

What should I do?

P.S. I forgot to tell that I'm using JUNG library in my GraphApplet project. I also added this into google app engine project

Adding into HMTL

<html>

Hello App Engine

Just put your applet.jar to root of WAR directory

Applet is just a jar file that is downloaded by browser and executed on client side as applet.

It has nothing to do with server code. From the point of server it's just a static file. So you should not pout it inside WEB-INF/lib, where server libs reside. Just put it next to your html files.

For an applet referring to other jars see: How do I build an applet which needs an external jar, using ant?
