Should this work?
shapeLayerProps.put("shapeFile",
this.getClass().getResource("dcwpo-browse.shp"));
shapeLayerProps.put("spatialIndex",
this.getClass().getResource("dcwpo-browse.ssx"));

That's because the ShapeLayer re-reads the data files when the
projection changes, in an effort to hold on to the least amount of
geometries necessary. See more below...

You probably have to add the jar file as a resource to load in the
applet html file. In the properties, the file should be referenced
with the path to the file from the root inside the jar.

You can use the BufferedShapeLayer for that.
