Add org-netbeans-api-visual.jar into your jar/classpath and you should be
OK assuming your Applet is signed/jar packed, you will have to jump through
some hoops to get rg-netbeans-api-visual.jar accessible from your main
jar.
Namely....
class YourClass
void copyResourceFromJarToExtDir(String tResource)
InputStream dllInputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(tResource);
fileSeparator = System.getProperty("file.separator").charAt(0);
String extDir = System.getProperty("java.home")+fileSeparator+"lib"+fileSeparator+"ext";
File outFile = null;
   try
      BufferedInputStream  binStream  = new BufferedInputStream(dllInputStream);
      outFile = new File(extDir+fileSeparator+tResource);
      BufferedOutputStream boutStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFile));
      System.out.println("saveing to"+outFile.toString());
      int b = -1;
      while((b = binStream.read()) != -1)
         boutStream.write(b);
      binStream.close();
      binStream.close();
      boutStream.flush();
      boutStream.close();
   catch(Exception e)
       e.printStackTrace();
}To summarize pack the rg-netbeans-api-visual.jar into your Applets main jar and call copyResourceFromJarToExtDir("rg-netbeans-api-visual.jar");
In your Applet.init() and you will be able to access the rg-netbeans-api-visual.jar
directly.
Good Luck!
