Java applets provide Internet sites with a huge range of new functionality: animation, live updating, two-way interaction, and more. Java applets allow cross-platform programmability and can be embedded right into HTML pages. Java brings zest and appeal to an otherwise dull and listless web site.

The following resources are provided as part of the Java Applet library:

	JavaScript Library
	Chat Applets
	Banner Applets
	Classic Applets
	Other Java Resources
	Java Compilers and Java Virtual Machine

DISCLAIMER: The Java applets included in this library were all developed by outside parties. If you encounter a bug in one of the applets included in the BWSD Java Applet Library, please report the bug to the applet's author rather than the BWSD Technical Support Staff.

CHAT APPLETS
App Name	Description Last Modified
Chat Touring	February 25, 1998 Very simple single room chat applet. The functionality is quite lacking when compared to Ewgie. But is quite capable if you only are hosting a single room environment.
BANNER APPLETS

LED Sign	February 25, 1998 A configurable LED sign. A very powerful banner applet. It features an entire scripting language to control the LED display - extremely versatile.
Navigator Ticker	February 25, 1998 This applet is capable of viewing different messages each can have an optional URL displayed at the browser status bar. The message font is completely scalable to applet dimensions that in turn can be scaled to page dimensions.
CLASSIC APPLETS

Image Tape	March 14, 1998 Tile a series of images together and scroll them across the screen as a continuous "image tape".

Other Java Resources
The small collection of Java applets contained in the BWSD Java Applet Library is by no means the "be all, end all" Java Applet Library. The are innumerable Java applets available, many are freeware and some are shareware, that can enhance your web content. Please find below a sampling of Java Applet Libraries available.

Java Compilers and Java Virtual Machine
Java applets are platform-independent, therefore the BWSD Virtual Server System is quite capable of supporting pre-compiled Java classes. BWSD also provides its clients with a Java Bytecode Compiler, a Java Virtual Machine (Interpreter) and "Just-In-Time" Compiler, as well as toba - a Java Native or "Way Ahead of Time" Compiler. Detailed information about using these Java tools is included in the Java Compilers and the Java Virtual Machine Server Extensions section of the BWSD Web Site.
