  30 Provides the classes necessary to create an applet and the classes an applet
  31 uses to communicate with its applet context.
  32 <p>
  33 The applet framework involves two
  34 entities: the <i>applet</i> and the <i>applet context</i>. An applet is an 
  35 embeddable window (see the Panel class) with a few extra methods that the applet 
  36 context can use to initialize, start, and stop the applet.
  37 <p>
  38 The applet context is an application that is responsible for loading and running
  39 applets. For example, the applet context could be a Web browser or an applet
  40 development environment.
  41 <p>
  42 The APIs in this package are all deprecated. Alternative technologies such as Java Web Start
  43 or installable applications should be used instead. See <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/289">JEP 289</a>
