either use an application that requires a browser *only* or use a web started Java application clearly indicating that Java is required on the client first (with a "get Java" button nearby).

Applets would have worked better if all major browser vendors would have included the Plug-In more consequently. As IE dominates the browser space and does require to install Java before applets work, a developer can build Swing apps without the requirement to run inside a browser right away.
