For projects, need to supply applet wizard panels to help user place applets within Java projects as well as Web Module projects. Assign to HIE first for design.
Here is a summary of options for how to put an applet into a web project: 1. Put the classes for applet into web module outside of WEB-INF. In this case we should create a separate folder for these sources and a separate Compiled Classes target to compile these classes. The 'Build WM' target would depend on this CC target. 2. Put the jar file with classes for applet into web module outside of WEB-INF. We would need to support a different type of resource for this. This jar needs to be putted into web module folder by the 'Build WM' target. 3. Put the classes for applet into WEB-INF\classes. The sources would live at the same place as other java sources for web module and the same CC target would be used. The user needs to implement a servlet that would serve these classes. We can provide this servlet for the user (generate it) or at least warn the user in the description of Applet template. 4. Put the jar with applet classes into WEB-INF\lib. The jar is treared as a library for web module. The user needs to implement a servlet that would serve these classes. We could provide this servlet for the user (generate it) if we would had some way to find out that the jar contains an Applet.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
