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.

Java 1.0 Applets - Use Netscape 3.0, Internet Explorer 3.0, HotJava pre-beta, or AppletViewer 1.0 or a later version of any of these
Java 1.1 Applets - Use HotJava 1.0, AppletViewer 1.1 or future 1.1-compatible versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer.

The AppletViewer is provided with the JDK 1.1 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.

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

Applets

The applets in this section are part of the software download bundle and are located in the jdk1.1/demo directory.

Unless otherwise noted, the demo applets use only JDK 1.0.2 API. Applets that have been updated to use the JDK 1.1 API do not work in browsers that do not support JDK 1.1.
