I've integrated PulpCore into a Swing application for my day job, and
for the most part, it's worked great.
One of the complications is that because it's built as an Applet, it's
a heavyweight component, and this makes things complicated with
regards to making it play nice with other components at times,
particularly with regards to Z-order and repaint behavior. The
problems are most pronounced on Mac.
What would I have to do to make PulpCore into a lightweight component?
Thanks!

At minimum, disable BufferStrategy. I believe there's a setting somewhere that allows you to disable it in applets.
If the problem is actually the Applet component, you'll have to fork the "applet platform" and make a version that uses JComponent or some other lightweight component.

Thanks. I went with the forking route by switching it over to a
JPanel. It took some effort to sort out the applet vs JPanel lifecycle
differences, but it's working nicely so far.

Care to share? I bothered David years back about this capability for
a children's storybook builder that I thought would be fun. I'd still
like to try it out. Build the storybook in a swing app, deploy to an
applet.

I too would like a JPanel version of PulpCore.
