Special constructor, to use when this is embedded in an Applet. It creates a standard environment but creates a special class loader if param applet is true. Then, the class loader is made compatible with applet security restrictions : it is no more possible for the class loader to load resources from network, only the AppletClassloader can do. if param applet is true, the class loader is made compatible with applet security restrictions

Throws:
