The Java bindings are in the kdebindings module - kdebindings/qtjava and 
kdebindings/kdejava. 

However, the class KPanelApplet needs the callback methods like 
KPanelApplet.heightForWidth() and KPanelApplet.widthForHeight() to be 
implemented before it will work properly.

I used the examples from the book 'KDE 2/Qt Programming Bible', translated to 
java, as a test suite for the last release, and one of the few examples that 
I didn't get working in java was the applet example :-(. I didn't think 
anyone would want to write KDE applets in java - but I was obviously wrong! 
So I'll fix this soon in the KDE_2_2_BRANCH/HEAD branches..
