Unable to open applet in any of the browser

I am trying to embed applet into an html page and view it in a browser, but i am unable to view it in any of the browsers. (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer are the browsers i have checked, and also i have enabled the java applets in all of the above.)

Below is my code for applet.java file.

import java.applet.Applet;
 import java.awt.Graphics;

 public class MyApplet extends Applet {
     @Override
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
         g.drawString("Hello applet!", 50, 25);
     }
 }

Below is the code for html file.

<html>
<head>
    <title>First Applet</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is my first applet.</p>
        <embed code="MyApplet.class" 
            codebase="."
            type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.8">
            <noembed>
                No Java Support.
            </noembed>
        </embed>
</body></html>

.class file, .java file and .html files are all in the same folder.

Solution

  • Modern Browsers does not support java applets; as per below post on official Java website:

    https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml

    The Java Plugin for web browsers relies on the cross-platform plugin architecture NPAPI, which had been supported by all major web browsers for over a decade. Google's Chrome version 45 and above have dropped support for NPAPI, and therefore Java Plugin do not work on these browsers anymore.
