Java Applets

DEFINITION :---

An applet is any small application that performs one specific task; sometimes running within the context a larger program perhaps as a plugin. However, the term typically also refers to programs written in the Java programming language which are included in an HTML page. The word Applet originally comes from the application AppleScript.

A Java applet is an applet delivered to the users in the form of Java bytecode. Java applets can run in a Web browser using a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), or in Sun's AppletViewer, a stand-alone tool for testing applets. Java applets were introduced in the first version of the Java language in 1995. Java applets are usually written in the Java programming language but they can also be written in other languages that compile to Java bytecode such as Jython,Ruby, or Eiffel.
