We provisionally put in some basic applet support into j2seproject for D since there was no time to do proper support. We should factor this out into either the web app project type or a new project type (or something) as soon as feasible. Filing for tracking purposes.
Will not be done for NetBeans 4.0, setting target milestone to future.
Adjusting priority. According to the NetBeans quality criteria: qa.netbeans.org/processes/bug_priority_guidelines.html this is a P4 bug: "incorrect behavior that doesn't affect functionality"
Is this issue still active? Can we close it?
This issues is not yet fixed. The applet support was injected into the j2seproject module in the times of NB 4.0 with goal to create a separate module handling applets correctly. But it was never done.
I agree it's not completely done, but the current trend is that Applets are getting more and more merged with Java Web Start, for which J2SE Project is the primary container. So Applet support probably naturally fits into J2SE project. There are also related enhancement requests that call for a special application type for applets, see issue 139872 and the issues it depends on. And the other part of the workflow is using applets in web applications, for which I filed a separate issue 144037. I suggest we close this issue as duplicate of 139872.
Closing as per Petr J's suggestion *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 139872 ***
