<h1>
Launching a Java applet
</h1>
<p>If your Java program is structured as an applet, you can use the <strong> Java
Applet </strong>launch configuration.&nbsp; This launch configuration uses information
derived from the workbench preferences and your program's Java project to launch the program.
</p>
<ol>
<li> In the <strong>Package Explorer</strong>, select the Java compilation unit
or class file containing the applet you want to launch. </li>
<li>Press the <strong>Run</strong> [ <img src="../images/org.eclipse.debug.ui/etool16/run_exc.png" width="16" height="16">
] button in the workbench toolbar or select <strong>Run &gt; Run</strong>
from the workbench menu. Alternatively, select <strong>Run As &gt; Java Applet</strong>
from the <strong>Package Explorer</strong> pop-up menu, select <strong>Run
&gt; Run As &gt; Java Applet </strong>in the workbench menu bar, or select
<strong>Run As &gt; Java Applet </strong>in the drop-down menu on the <strong>Run</strong>
tool bar button.&nbsp; </li>
<li> Your program is now launched. </li>
</ol>
<p>You can also launch a Java applet by selecting a project instead of the
compilation unit or class file.&nbsp; You will be prompted to select a class
from those classes that extend Applet.&nbsp; (If only one applet class is
found in the project, that class is launched as if you selected it.)</p>
