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 OBJECT, EMBED, or APPLET tag,
then appletviewer does nothing. For details on the HTML tags that appletviewer
supports, see AppletViewer Tags.
The Java 2 SDK contains two implementations
of the Java virtual machine.
The Java HotSpotTM Client VM
The Java HotSpot Client VM is the default virtual machine. Its use of
Java HotSpot technology gives it superior
performance as compared with the Classic VM. Unless special command-line
options are used to invoke the Classic VM instead (see below),
appletviewer will always launch an applet to run on the
Client VM.
The Java 2 Classic VM
The Java 2 Classic VM is essentially the same virtual machine
implementation as in version 1.2 of the Java 2 SDK. It may
be invoked by using the -classic command-line option, as
in this example:
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.
