Ant and appletviewer

Hello!

How do you launch an applet via Ant? There's a java task for normal
applications, but I wonder why there's no equivalent <appletviewer>
task...?

Maybe it's something you usually don't want? Hmm but I do...

So, the only way seems to go via <exec> (yuk), is that right?

I think you will need exec to launch a browser, Applet viewer or the
Applet itself directly. I write nearly all my Applets with a main
method so they can be run also as an Application.
