A Java applet is an applet delivered to the users in the form of Java bytecode. Java applets can run in a Web browser using a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), or in Sun's AppletViewer, a stand-alone tool for testing applets. Java applets were introduced in the first version of the Java language in 1995. Java applets are usually written in the Java programming language but they can also be written in other languages that compile to Java bytecode such as Jython.

Applets are used to provide interactive features to web applications that cannot be provided by HTML. Since Java's bytecode is platform independent, Java applets can be executed by browsers for many platforms, including Windows, Unix, Mac OS and Linux. There are open source tools like applet2app which can be used to convert an applet to a stand alone Java application/windows executable/linux executable. This has the advantage of running a Java applet in offline mode without the need for internet browser software.

Many influential Java developers, blogs and magazines are recommending that the Java Web Start technology be used in place of Applets .

A Java Servlet is sometimes informally compared to be "like" a server-side applet, but it is different in its language, functions, and in each of the characteristics described here about applets.

It says my browser has not enabled Java Applets what does this mean? is it good or bad?
Q. If it is necessary how do I do this
Asked by ROBIN 53 - Thu Sep 4 15:56:40 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It means that you don't have Java installed or you disabled it. Java is used to embed an application on to a webpage, like a game or a chat client. To enable it for your browser, just google it. I put the link to search for firefox and internet explorer. Firefox - Internet Explorer - To install Java, download the installer from the Java website.
