/**
* Provides the classes necessary to create an applet and the classes an applet
* uses to communicate with its applet context.
* <p>
* The applet framework involves two entities: the <i>applet</i> and the
* <i>applet context</i>. An applet is an embeddable window (see the Panel
* class) with a few extra methods that the applet context can use to
* initialize, start, and stop the applet.
* <p>
* The applet context is an application that is responsible for loading and
* running applets. For example, the applet context could be a Web browser or an
* applet development environment.
* <p>
* The APIs in this package are all deprecated. Alternative technologies such as
* Java Web Start or installable applications should be used instead.
* See <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/289">JEP 289</a> and
* the Oracle White Paper
* <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/migratingfromapplets-2872444.pdf">
* "Migrating from Java Applets to plugin-free Java technologies"</a> for more
* information.
