Re: JFrame as JApplet?

I was wondering if there is any way to write an application which can
be run as well as a JFrame as as a JApplet. And if so: how can I figure
out which way the application has been started?

If main() is called, then it was started as an application. I haven't done this in ages, but the following should start the applet when it is called as an application:

	public class MyAppletStub implements AppletStub {
		// implement all AppletStub methods here
		
		public MyAppletStub(String args[]) {
			// parse and remember command line
		}
	}

	public static void main(String args[]) {
		JApplet a = new MyJApplet();
		a.setStub(new MyAppletStub(args));
		a.init();
	        a.start();
	}

There are other things which might need to be adjusted. My notes tell me that I got the above from some Sun article, but I can't find the original article at the moment.

Maybe you probably better use Sun's AppletViewer to run the applet as an application.
