Accessing Mac desktop remotely by Java VNC applet?

[Objectivist-C]

Does anyone know of a simple way to set up a VNC server on OS X so that the computer can be accessed through an in-browser Java applet? I found a guide here, but it seems to be rather out of date.

Go to System Preferences==>Sharing==>Apple Remote Desktop==>Access Privileges==>VNC Users may control screen with password.

Note that if you don't tunnel it via SSH it is very insecure and if you run it from a network the connection may be automatically shut down.

OK, but I still need a way to set up and host a [edit: SSH-enabled] Java VNC client on OS X.

You could start with the source code to Chicken of the VNC, but it is not Java code.

Apparently RealVNC does what I'm looking for, but I haven't tested it yet.

Did you ever try this? Does it work well with a Mac? I've used it on Windows computers before and it works very well there. Especially handy when ports are blocked 😀
