import java.awt.event.*;

 

public class HelloWorldApplet extends Applet{

 
  public static void main(String[] args){


  Frame frame = new Frame("Roseindia.net");

  frame.setSize(400,200);


  Applet app = new HelloWorldApplet();


  frame.add(app);


  frame.setVisible(true);


  frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){

   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){


  System.exit(0);

   }

   });

   }

   public void paint(Graphics g){


  g.drawString("Hello World!",200,100);

   }

 }

Compiling Applets:

javac HelloWorldApplet.java

<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Applet program</title>
</head>
<body>
<APPLET CODE="HelloWorldApplet.class" WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=500>
</APPLET>
</body>
</html>
