Okay, I'll also express about this :-), but don't expect anything special as I 
don't like java, because I had to work with it for several months...

To make applet usable, you need jar archive. To develop code you need sources. 
This is hardly to include in our current source and will just make mess. 
Putting jar into cvs makes no sense, but just after checkout it will work. 

I vote for creating separate cvs and separate distribution and make in easily 
include in phpMyAdmin (EnableApplet in config or something like this). This 
just in case that somebody could maintain the code, not only write it...
