Running an Applet from the IDE

You can run applet classes within the IDE.   Executable classes, including applets,  are indicated with the Runnable symbol jexec.gif (864 bytes) in browsers.

To run an applet in the IDE's Applet Viewer, select Run, In Applet Viewer from the class's pop-up menu, or select the class and click the Run button runup.gif (1037 bytes) in the toolbar.   This launches the applet in the Applet Viewer.  Control the applet with options in the Applet menu, such as Stop, Reload, Start, and Exit.  If the applet uses standard input and output, the Console window is launched.

Defaults for applet size and behavior are set in the applet's Properties notebook.   To open the Properties notebook, select the applet, click mouse button 2, and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
