| Applet is not a program or a complete, standalone application. It is just a small component which enables some very specified function. Applets are usually embedded into programs and that is how we have Java applet. I’d like to repeat that applet, unlike a regular program, can’t be standalone in the sense that you can run it and use it for some purpose without some other program. For example, flash movies which you can watch in your web browser cannot be watched outside the browser on some applet. Java also has some particular role within some other programs and applications and it can’t be run on its own, independently. So, the main function of an applet is to perform some very specified task within some program. |
