Swing Applet Test

If you see a picture of Duke to the left of this text, your browser is configured to run Swing. Click Duke's button and watch him Swing!

If you see just a gray rectangle over the picture caption -- or nothing at all -- then your browser isn't equipped to run Swing applets using the techniques described in the article you're reading. You can remedy that situation by following the instructions presented in the "Make Your Browser Swing!" article.

Another way to create and run Swing applets is to use Java Plug-in, a downloadable applet engine that's available free from Swing. For more details on using Java Plug-in, see the article titled "Java Plug-in Power" in this issue.
