Greetings to the codeforces community,
I have added an AUR package topcoder-applet to make the installation of topcoder applet easy.
The main advantage over following the steps provided by topcoder officially at INSTALLING TOPCODER'S VINTAGE ARENA are:
No need to find the right version of
javawsto run the applet. The package installs the right java dependencies.Adds an icon to desktop and application launcher allowing user to run the applet with just one click. The package installs itself as any other GUI application.

Installation
The package can be installed using the following commands:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/topcoder-applet.git
cd topcoder-applet
makepkg -si
The package can be installed using your favourite package manager. If you are using yay then the command is:
yay -S topcoder-applet
