JAVA PLUG-IN 1.4.2 Demonstration Applets

Print-friendly Version

This page provides a series of web pages containing applets solely for the purpose of demonstrating and evaluating Java Plug-in. Hence, the HTML of each page explicitly specifies the use of the Java^TMPlug-in rather than the default Java virtual machine contained in your browser.

Java Plug-in requires a one-time download and installation that takes a total of 3-10 minutes, depending on your network and system configuation. In all subsequent instances, the Java Plug-in software loads automatically and transparently to render the Java applet.

All of these applets leverage Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 features, and are thus dependent on features in Java 2 SDK 1.4.2.  For more information, see Writing Compatible Programs.   The applets include those in the demo directory of the Java 2 SDK , plus a few extras.  Each applet is viewed by downloading the respective web page (see the links below) into your Web browser.

Programmers: Please feel free to reuse source code from our applets, except in programs where a bug could be life-threatening.
