I take a java class and we are creating applets. I have used Eclipse for all my other programming in the class. Is there another program like jCreator for the mac that will allow me to make applets. If there is a way to do it on Eclipse that would be the best. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Oh, I see. Use the Eclipse for Java EE (Enterprise) version. It includes the Web Tools Platform, which has an HTML/CSS/XML/etc, etc...editor.
If you already have Eclipse for Java Standard Edition, then you should be able to get the WTP as an add-on (from somewhere in teh Eclipse project...or use the "Install New Software" option in the help menu).
The same thing you have to do in any other Java IDE...extend the Java.applet.Applet class. If you already know how to write an Applet in JCreator, then all you need to do is learn the controls and toolbars for Eclipse (for which there are lots of help file tutorials).
If you don't know how to write an Applet, then your problem isn't with the choice of an IDE, and I suggest you start here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/index.html,
and then here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html
Why can't you just use Eclipse?
What do i have to do to write an applet in Eclipse. Right know the only thing know to do is a simple program that runs in the output.
I was trying to find the place where I can write the HTML code for the applet. That is the problem that I am running into. I know how to do it in jcreator, but not in eclipse.
applet IDE like jCreator for mac
