Applets should NOT have main method but rather init, stop, paint etc. |
They should be run through javac compiler getting a .class file as before |
Create an HTML file (say HelloWorld.HTML in same directory as .class file) and include in this |
<applet code="Example.class" width=500 height=200 > </applet> in simplest case with no parameters where applet will run in window of given width and height (in pixels) |
If you have JDK on one's machine, one can run the applet with appletviewer HelloWorld.html |
Alternatively run Netscape 2.0 essentially anywhere and applet is interpreted and run by Java interpreter built into Netscape. |
This way we can compile on places with JDK installed but run almost anywhere! |
