[spratana]

well, i need to compile applet, how can i add the main argument?

[spratana]

what is the best compiler? i'm using Jcreator sould i change to intelliJEDEA or something else?

Jcreator should have a built in compiler... Look for button to build and or run your application.

Good luck!

Hello spratana,

In applications, programs begin running with the first statement inside the main() block statement and end with the last closing bracket (}) that closes out the block. There is no main() method in a Java applet, so there is no set starting place for the program. Instead, an applet has a group of standard methods that are handled in response to specific events as the applet runs.

Please take a look at this link:

Applet was designed for browsers, and it has different method implementation not like desktop app...

No method main required....

take a look at PARAM tags.

it is the equivalent of method main arguments.

kind regards,

Only thing you have to do is, write the applet code correctly. Just you need the class file, hence no need to worry about main method.
