This is a blog about embedding a simple java applet inside a web page. A java applet is actually a runnable java program that can be embedded in a website for showing some graphics or making the web page interactive. It all runs by itself and any modern web browser with java plugin can run applets. So we create a sample java program first and then compile it to make the .class file ie the runnable. Then this runnable is embedded in the web page in a mechanism similar to embedding pictures inside the html file using html tags.
