    27  * Provides the classes necessary to create an applet and the classes an applet

    28  * uses to communicate with its applet context.

    29  * <p>

    30  * The applet framework involves two entities: the <i>applet</i> and the

    31  * <i>applet context</i>. An applet is an embeddable window (see the Panel

    32  * class) with a few extra methods that the applet context can use to

    33  * initialize, start, and stop the applet.

    34  * <p>

    35  * The applet context is an application that is responsible for loading and

    36  * running applets. For example, the applet context could be a Web browser or an

    37  * applet development environment.

    38  * <p>

    39  * The APIs in this package are all deprecated. Alternative technologies such as

    40  * Java Web Start or installable applications should be used instead.

    41  * See <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/289">JEP 289</a> and

    42  * the Oracle White Paper

    43  * <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/migratingfromapplets-2872444.pdf">
