From Java Tutorial 98- 1: Introduction to Java Language and Applets CPS606 -- Fall Semester. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken

The HelloWorld Applet for Foil 10
1 Java applets are part of the class hierarchy that can call methods to display on a screen (within the browser window). One way to draw on the screen is to call the method drawString from the standard method paint.
2 import java.awt.Graphics;
3 public class HelloApplet extends java.applet.Applet
4 { public void paint (Graphics g)
5 { g.drawString("Hello World!", 5, 25);
6 }
7 }
8 The import statement (similar to an include) allows the use of methods from the Graphics class .
9 The paint method displays a graphics object on the screen - one of the standard methods that takes the place of main for applets.
10 Puts this as a subclass of Applet.
