- 
getAppletInfoDeprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns information about this applet. An applet should override this method to return aStringcontaining information about the author, version, and copyright of the applet.The implementation of this method provided by the Appletclass returnsnull.- Returns:
- a string containing information about the author, version, and copyright of the applet
 
- 
getLocaleDeprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Gets the locale of the applet. It allows the applet to maintain its own locale separated from the locale of the browser or appletviewer.
- 
getParameterInfoDeprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns information about the parameters that are understood by this applet. An applet should override this method to return an array of strings describing these parameters.Each element of the array should be a set of three strings containing the name, the type, and a description.

- 
initpublic void init()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it has been loaded into the system. It is always called before the first time that thestartmethod is called.A subclass of Appletshould override this method if it has initialization to perform. For example, an applet with threads would use theinitmethod to create the threads and thedestroymethod to kill them.The implementation of this method provided by the Appletclass does nothing.- See Also:
 
- 
startpublic void start()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it should start its execution. It is called after theinitmethod and each time the applet is revisited in a Web page.A subclass of Appletshould override this method if it has any operation that it wants to perform each time the Web page containing it is visited. For example, an applet with animation might want to use thestartmethod to resume animation, and thestopmethod to suspend the animation.Note: some methods, such as getLocationOnScreen, can only provide meaningful results if the applet is showing. BecauseisShowingreturnsfalsewhen the applet'sstartis first called, methods requiringisShowingto returntrueshould be called from aComponentListener.The implementation of this method provided by the Appletclass does nothing.- See Also:
 
- 
stoppublic void stop()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it should stop its execution. It is called when the Web page that contains this applet has been replaced by another page, and also just before the applet is to be destroyed.A subclass of Appletshould override this method if it has any operation that it wants to perform each time the Web page containing it is no longer visible. For example, an applet with animation might want to use thestartmethod to resume animation, and thestopmethod to suspend the animation.The implementation of this method provided by the Appletclass does nothing.- See Also:
 
- 
destroypublic void destroy()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it is being reclaimed and that it should destroy any resources that it has allocated. Thestopmethod will always be called beforedestroy.A subclass of Appletshould override this method if it has any operation that it wants to perform before it is destroyed. For example, an applet with threads would use theinitmethod to create the threads and thedestroymethod to kill them.The implementation of this method provided by the Appletclass does nothing.- See Also:
 
- 
getAccessibleContextDeprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Gets theAccessibleContextassociated with thisApplet. For applets, theAccessibleContexttakes the form of anAccessibleApplet. A newAccessibleAppletinstance is created if necessary.- Specified by:
- getAccessibleContextin interface- Accessible
- Overrides:
- getAccessibleContextin class- Panel
- Returns:
- an AccessibleAppletthat serves as theAccessibleContextof thisApplet
