It's possible that it's to do with the version of Java you're building your project with, since the new applet class files were only introduced in Java 1.6 / 6.0. So, right click on your project on the left, go to Properties, Java Build Path, Libraries tab, and scroll down the list until you see JRE System Library. Note the version. If it reads less than 6.0 / 1.6, you're using an old version.

Click on JRE System Library, click Remove (make sure you have at least Java 1.6 installed!) then click Add Library. Select JRE System Library and select your Java version. If this isn't listed, go to Window > Preferences, Java > Installed JREs, click Add, and locate your JRE. Then repeat the same process and it should work.

(Edit: ignore what I said, the com.sun.* classes are hidden from the user. I don't think you can use it)
