Applet viewer is a command-line program to run Java applets. It is included in the SDK. It helps you to test an applet before you run it in a browser. An applet is a special type of application that’s included as a part of an HTML page and can be stored in a web page and run within a web browser. The applet’s code gets transferred to the system and then the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) of the browser executes that code and displays the output. So for running the applet,  the browser should be Java enabled. To create an applet, we need to define a class that inherits the Applet. We generally use web browsers to run applets. Its not always mandatory to open a Web browser for running an applet.

Common features 

  • Smaller, incremental JRE download and faster applet startup.
  • Applets run in a separate process to the browser, and each applet can optionally run in a separate JVM instance, so one misbehaving applet cannot affect other applets or the browser.
  • Applets can have parameters passed to them to control behavior such as setting a large initial heap size to avoid out-of-memory exceptions.
  • Applets can now be dragged out of the web browser and run as separate applications.
