Confused about class Applet and JApplet

[Shen Lin]

I want to know what is the diffreences between Applet and JApplet. It seems that I cannot add Components to Applet, but it is OK for JApplet.
Is it true?

[Dirk Schreckmann]

You can indeed add components to an Applet. The Button class extends Component.

public class FooApplet extends java.applet.Applet
{
  public void init()
  {
    add( new java.awt.Button( "Button" ) ) ;
  }
}

What components are you having trouble adding to a simple Applet?

[Shen Lin]

Thanks, Dirk. I think I have a better understanding now and should be able to add other components.
