## 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.
