Applets

Demonstration applets and source code are available at:

• Demo applets and source code
• 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 Java^TM 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.

Applications

Applications and sample code are also available in the JDK installation. These demonstrate various features of the Java 2 platform. The available demos are described in the following sections.
