Java applets are classes written in Java which are intended not to run as stand-alone programs (as applications do) but as subprograms of a browser which is already managing a window.
|
Applets should NOT have main method but rather init, start, paint etc. for displaying on the browser window
|
The applet should be run through javac compiler getting a .class file as before: javac MyApplet.java
|
The resulting file MyApplet.class is then stored in the document collection of a web server (hence has a URL location).
|
Also create an HTML file (say MyApplet.html) with an applet tag to MyApplet.class.
