• Applets are Java programs based around the Applet or JApplet classes. They are most closely associated with the ability to provide active content within Web pages. They have several features which distinguish them from ordinary Java graphical applications, such as their lack of a user-defined main method, and the security restrictions that limit their abilities to perform some normal tasks.
