How do I execute an applet in JBuilder4 ?

[StanSteve]

Hello Java JBuilder friend,
I created two simple files TryApplet.java and TryApplet.html to execute an Applet.

but when I attempt to run it in JBuilder4
if I right click on the TryApplet.html name and click on "run" I get an output window which says in the title bar
"Apple Viewer TryApplet.class"

and at the bottom of the output window it says
"start applet not initialized"

If I double click on the name TryApplet.html , I get a grey box !

What to do?
Thank you for your advice

sounds to me as though your html needs to be converted to the version of java that Jbuilder is using (probably 1.3.1?). Is your applet using any swing GUI components?
If it is you must download the html converter from the sun website, convert your html page, and then it should work properly.

If you are not using swing, well, not sure, give the above a go and see if it works, if it doesn't then I can help you no more.

I am trying to run Java Applets using swing components, so I downloaded the html converter from the Sun web site. Please tell me what does it mean to convert the html page ? I don't have a clue what to do !

I don't have a copy here and so am doing this from memory.

ok, just run the converter, type in the name of the html file (including the path i think) you want to convert and hit go. when it runs it will tell you whether or not it has located your applet. once done. that is it, it takes less than one second, now when you open the html file through your browser, it should be able to run the applet.

if it doesn't work, make sure you have the correct html converter version for the version of java you are using.
