     Lest too much premature wailing ensue: The cited article says
Oracle intends that Java *9* will *deprecate* applets, which means
they'll still be supported for some considerable time to come.  In
fact, Oracle does not intend to deprecate with "forRemoval=true",
meaning Java *10* will still support (but discourage) applets and
that they won't entirely disappear until at least Java *11*.

     So: Kiss your Applet good-bye, yes, but make it a lingering kiss.
