Is it possible to make a JAR file for a Java Applet?

Question

Is it possible to make a JAR file for a Java Applet? And no, I don't have a JApplet, I have an Applet. My class extends Applet instead of JApplet.

Answer 1

Yes . See Deploying An Applet In Under 10 Minutes :

• Compile / build your applet's Java code and make sure all class files and resources such as images etc. are in a separate directory, example build/components.
• Create a jar file containing your applet's class files and resources.
• Sign your jar file if the applet needs special security permissions, for example, to be launched in a modern JRE with default settings. By default, unsigned code will be blocked.
• Create a JNLP file that describes how your applet should be launched.
