Applets are Java programs that are stored on
Internet/intranet web servers. Unlike applications, applets are not stand-alone
programs but require a viewer to run, such as a web browser. Applets must be
launched from an HTML web page that includes an APPLET
tag.
Before developing applets, it's important to fully understand browser and JDK compatibility issues. See "Working with applets" in Building Applications with JBuilder and the "Building an applet" tutorial in the Quick Start for information on these issues.
JBuilder provides an Applet wizard to assist you in creating applets. The Applet wizard creates an applet consisting of two files and adds them to the existing project:
APPLET
tag referencing your applet class. This is the file you should select to run or debug your applet.
JApplet
or Applet
.
This is your main UI container to which you'll add UI components using the UI
designer.
