appletviewer(1) Basic Tools appletviewer(1) # [NAME](#NAME) appletviewer - Runs applets outside of a web browser. # [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS) ``` appletviewer [options] url... ``` [*options*](#options) The command-line options separated by spaces. See Options. [*url*](#url) The location of the documents or resources to be displayed. You can specify multiple URLs separated by spaces. # [DESCRIPTION](#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](#OPTIONS) [-debug](#debug) Starts the Applet Viewer in the Java debugger with the **jdb** command to debug the applets in the document. [-encoding *encoding-name*](#encoding) Specifies the input HTML file encoding name. [-J*javaoption*](#J) 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. 21 November 2013 JDK 8 --- Document: appletviewer(1) from corretto-8 8.512.08.1-r0 (Chainguard OS) Source: https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8
