Add a Java Applet to Component view

The 8Legs Web Studio includes a number of components built into "Component" view. You can add your own components to "Component" view, so that 8Legs is customized to your work environment.

There are presently four types of components you can add to "Component" view: folders, HTML Snippets, Images, and Java Applets.
