37. Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 4e37 Differences Between Applets and GUI Applications Applets –Derived from JApplet –No main method –Uses init method –Displayed by HTML –Sets title in HTML –Size set in HTML –Applet closes when HTML doc closes GUI applications –class extends JFrame –Invokes main method –Uses constructors –Uses method setVisible –Uses setTitle method –Uses method setSize –Closes with Exit button

38. Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 4e38 Converting a GUI Application to an Applet Change JFrame to JApplet Change constructor to method init Remove method calls such as setVisible, setTitle, setSize Remove the method main If applicable, remove Exit button/all code associated with it (e.g., action listener)
