Run Java-applets directly ( without html page )

Question

I have a problem.

How i can run my java-applet directly without embedded in my web page?

I know appletViewr can execute applet without a browser but I need to get java applet without html page.

Answer 1

Use below code with your code, where AppletClass is your Applet class.

AppletClass appletClass = new AppletClass ();

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
frame.add(appletClass );

// Set frame size and other properties
...

// Call applet methods
appletClass .init();
appletClass .start();

frame.setVisible(true);

More customizations can be done as required.

Answer 2

Appletviewer is the way to go, BUT, it still requires a webpage with an applet-tag.

An alternative solution is to write a stub class, with a main method, that instantiates the applet, calls init(), start(), stop() and destroy() as would otherwise have been done by the browser or appletviewer.
