Java could have been made to run well in a browser, giving applets good access to the DOM of their containing page wouldn't have been too difficult.

  Not only it wasn't, it has always been possible to do so from Applets.

    When I wrote good access, I was really thinking that Java would have needed to provide an API at least as good as JQuery, not just a low-level way to walk nodes in a tree.

      The API was there nevertheless.
