jamvm isn't working at all for me (see above), but cacao seems to
execute the applet. I tried to run
'strace cacao -Xbootclasspath/p:/usr/share/classpath/tools.zip gnu.classpath.tools.appletviewer.Main http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/'

The output from strace indicates that appletviewer doesn't honor
my proxy settings, and I guess that gcjwebplugin have the
same problem.

Is there a way to configure appletviewer/gcjwebplugin to use a
http-proxy?

gappletviewer-4.1 already has a bug report about missing
proxy support, bug #401410.
