In the j2sdk1.4.2/demo directory we have an "applets" directory, and we have a "plugin/applets" directory. With the exception of the .html files, all of these files are duplicates. We can do 2 things to improve this:

saving download time:
-only bundle up one copy of each of the duplicate files, and during installation, copy them over to the other location.

saving disk space on target machine:
-only keep the .java/.class files in one directory and modify the html links to use the shared files. This would actually solve the download time problem too, but we need to be careful not to confuse the users.
