Succinctly, this invention assumes Java Applets packaged in a jar file, with all of the accompanying classes and resources, as well as one additional file-a descriptor file. This last file can be read from the jar file, and scanned to extract an icon to represent the applet on a menu, the applet's name in market applicable languages, applet size and position, and the applets main class name. No further processing need be done to present this applet to the user for selection. The entire applet need not be loaded into memory until the user requests it. Once the user has selected the application, the applet can be sized and launched without further scanning.
