Diff Between Applet and JApplet??

[Madhu Kaparapu]

Hai
i would like to know the difference between Applet and JApplet?

[Brian Cole]

The main difference is that JApplet contains
a root pane, so it has a content pane and a
glass pane. There are some other differences
too, but nothing huge.

Go ahead and take a look at the javadocs for
each class and you can see the differences
yourself.

hi, sorry if I've ruined this thread, but you mentioned something about a root pane, and I think thats got sumthign to do with my problem.
If its not too much trouble, could you take a quick look.

I have a JApplet as shown here:

public class PacmanApplet extends javax.swing.JApplet
{    
   public void init()    
   {        
       setContentPane(new PacmanGame());
   }
}

And also a normal java class (PacmanGame) that extends JPanel:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.*; 
import java.util.*;
 
public class PacmanGame extends JPanel implements KeyListener
{
 
   // CONSTRUCTOR
   public PacmanGame()
   {
 
 
   }
 
   protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
   {
       super.paintComponent(g);
       Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
         g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                              RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
   
       g2.drawLine(50,50,100,100);
   }
 
 
 
   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
   {
     System.out.println("KEY PRESSED");
   } 
   public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){} 
   public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){} 
}

I'm trying to insert the addKeyListener(...) method into the constructor
of PacmanGame, but I'm not sure how to do it. I think it has something to do with the contentPane, but I dont have a frame here, everything is being displayed in the HTML file that calls PacmanApplet.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks
