Depending on the client browser type and version, and the corresponding Java™ Plug-in version, <OBJECT>, <EMBED>, or <APPLET> tag syntax might be required to run the applet properly. See the Encountering OBJECT, EMBED, and APPLET Tags With Different Plug-in Versions and Browsers document for details about the tagging variations required to run Swing applets on various browsers.
Because the HTML Converter is a Java application, you must have a copy of the JDK available to your machine. You must also make sure that your CLASSPATH and PATH variables are set correctly, as explained in the README.txt file that comes with Swing. See the HTML Converter user documentation for more information about installing, starting, and using the converter.
The converter provides a command line interface and a GUI. When you have started the HTML Converter, the easiest way to convert files is to perform your conversions one file at a time, although the default is to convert all files in a folder. After you have finished converting the files that contain Japplet classes, the converter adds the appropriate tagging to optimize the way your applets run in various browsers.
Once you have inserted JApplets in your Web pages, you should run the pages
through the HTML Converter. The converter will then automatically convert
the <APPLET> tags in your Web pages to tags that the Java Plug-in
recognizes.
