Or are they pretty much dead? I now use Mathematica to make applets. These are written in Mathematica though, not Java. They run in the browser, and need a plugin installed (like with Java). there are now 8,000 applets at this site to run http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ I've written applets in Java, and I found that it is easier/faster for me to make an applet using Mathematica than with Java. There is really limited options for make applets that run in the browser. The ones I know about are: 1. Java applets 2. Mathematica 3. Flash 4. HTML5-Javascript 5. JavaFx 6.
