JDK Demos (original) (raw)

Applets

Demonstration applets and source code are available at:

• Demo applets and source code on java.sun.com website
• Demo applets and source code in the JDK installation demo/applets directory

To run the applets, use your browser to go to the HTML page and click on the applet link, or use AppletViewer to open the HTML page.

Running an applet in a browser requires the JavaTM Plug-in, which is installed by default with the JDK and JRE. The AppletViewer is provided with the JDK, at bin\appletviewer. For information about how to use the AppletViewer and other JDK tools, see JDK Tools and Utilities.
