This lets you run an existing Java web applet that you already have, from way back when those were supported, in a modern browser with real sandboxing. Even if you don't have the original source. It's for legacy stuff, not new projects.
- jvdvegt 3y agoIs it though? Why did they rewrite it completely for Java 9 and up, if it's just 'for legacy stuff'?
- dwild 3y agoTheir AOT solution was clearly too complex for some potential clients, that seems like the real reason they rewrote it all, support for higher Java version is mostly a neat benefit (though Java 9 did still support Applet from my understanding, just deprecated).
