The appletviewer command allows you to run applets outside of the context of a World-Wide Web browser.
appletviewer
[ options ] urls ...
The appletviewer command connects to the documents or resources designated by urls and displays each applet referenced by the documents in its own window. Note: if the documents referred to by urls do not reference any applets with the APPLET tag, appletviewer does nothing.
- -debug
- Starts the applet viewer in the Java debugger, jdb, thus allowing you to debug the applets in the document.
- -encoding encoding name
- Specifies the input HTML file encoding name.
- -J javaoption
- Passes through the string javaoption as a single argument to the Java interpreter which runs the appletviewer. The argument should not contain spaces. Multiple argument words must all begin with the prefix -J, which is stripped. This is useful for adjusting the compiler's execution environment or memory usage.
