Cool Java Applets We've Written (Beta)

The applets listed on this page conform to the Beta API, which will be understood by the Netscape Navigator(tm) 2.0 browser. You can also view these applets using the Applet Viewer, which is distributed in the JDK release. To run one of these applets with the Applet Viewer, just specify the URL with the appletviewer command, like this:

appletviewer http://java.sun.com/applets/applets/NervousText/example1.html

Note: To find applets that the 1.0 Alpha 3 HotJava(tm) browser can run, see our list of Alpha applets. To find more Beta applets, see Gamelan, a directory and registry of Java resources.

Programmers: Please feel free to reuse source code from our applets, except in programs where a bug could be life-threatening.
