appletviewer(1)                              Basic Tools                             appletviewer(1)

NAME
       appletviewer - Runs applets outside of a web browser.

SYNOPSIS
       appletviewer [options] url...


       options
              The command-line options separated by spaces. See Options.

       url    The  location  of the documents or resources to be displayed. You can specify multiple
              URLs separated by spaces.

DESCRIPTION
       The appletviewer command connects to the  documents  or  resources  designated  by  urls  and
       displays each applet referenced by the documents in its own window. If the documents referred
       to  by  urls  do  not  reference  any applets with the OBJECT, EMBED, or APPLET tag, then the
       appletviewer command does nothing. For details about the  HTML  tags  that  the  appletviewer
       command            supports,           see           AppletViewer           Tags           at
       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/appletviewertags.html

       The appletviewer command requires encoded URLs according to the escaping mechanism defined in
       RFC2396. Only encoded URLs are supported. However, file names must be unencoded, as specified
       in RFC2396.

       Note:  The  appletviewer  command  is  intended  for  development  purposes  only.  For  more
       information,      see      About      Sample/Test      Applications      and      Code     at
       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/samples/aboutCodeSamples.html

OPTIONS
       -debug
              Starts the Applet Viewer in the Java debugger  with  the  jdb  command  to  debug  the
              applets in the document.

       -encoding encoding-name
              Specifies the input HTML file encoding name.

       -Jjavaoption
              Passes  the string javaoption as a single argument to the Java interpreter, which runs
              the Applet Viewer. The argument should not contain  spaces.  Multiple  argument  words
              must  all  begin  with  the  prefix  -J.  This  is useful for adjusting the compiler's
              execution environment or memory usage.
