Is a Java applet usable online anymore?

Question

I have a BlueJ applet that I want to run in a web browser. I've realized that the tutorial I was trying to learn from was outdated, and applets are really obsolete. What I'm trying to figure out (I'm searching but finding a lot more outdated info, hence my confusion) is what replaced applets, and if there is still a viable way to use my .jar file in a web app.

Answer 1

May I suggest you taking a look at CheerpJ?

It allows for both old java applet to run and for java applications in general to be executed in the browser.

There is an extension for Chromium/Google Chrome that can be used for free to test the applet and our product.
