Demonstration Applets and Applications

Browser Requirements

In general, applets can run in AppletViewer or in Java-compatible browers as noted below. Of course, applets that depend on any new Java 1.1 APIs will not work on any browsers that support only Java 1.0, so there are version restrictions. The AppletViewer is provided with the JDK software release.

In general, any applet or application that ran in JDK 1.0.2 should run correctly in JDK 1.1. A failure to do so is a bug, except for a small number of cases where compatibility has had to be broken to close potential security holes, or fix implementation or design bugs. For more details, see Compatibility.

All of the these applets have been recompiled and tested under JDK 1.1. When you click on the links below, a hidden applet will determine whether to launch the 1.0.2 version or the 1.1 version of each demo applet.

Of course, Java applications do not run in a browser and require only the JDK or Java Runtime.
