## 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.

### -J_javaoption_
              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.
