Steps to Execute the Applet in Eclipse

Step 1: Install Java 8 or Earlier


Ensure that Java 8 (or earlier) is installed because applets are removed in later
versions.
1. Open Eclipse.
2. Go to Window → Preferences → Java → Installed JREs.
3. Select a JDK version 8 or lower.

Step 2: Create a New Java Project

1. Open Eclipse.
2. Click File → New → Java Project.
3. Enter AppletAddition as the project name.
4. Click Finish

Step 3: Create a New Java Class


1. Right-click on src → New → Class.
2. Name it AddNumbersApplet
3. Uncheck the "public static void main(String[] args)" option (Applets don't use
main()).
4. Click Finish.

Step 4: Write the Applet Code


import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
/* <applet code="AddNumbersApplet" width=300 height=200></applet> */
public class AddNumbersApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener {
TextField num1, num2, result;
Button addButton;
public void init() {
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
Label l1 = new Label("Number 1:");
Label l2 = new Label("Number 2:");
Label l3 = new Label("Result:");
num1 = new TextField(10);
num2 = new TextField(10);
result = new TextField(10);
result.setEditable(false);

addButton = new Button("Add");


addButton.addActionListener(this);

add(l1);
add(num1);
add(l2);
add(num2);
add(addButton);
add(l3);
add(result);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {


try {
int n1 = Integer.parseInt(num1.getText());
int n2 = Integer.parseInt(num2.getText());
int sum = n1 + n2;
result.setText(String.valueOf(sum));
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
result.setText("Invalid Input");
}
}
}

Step 5: Create an HTML File for Running the Applet


Eclipse does not directly support running applets. You need an HTML file.

1. Right-click src → New → File.


2. Name it AddNumbersApplet.html.
Paste the following code:

html
CopyEdit
<html>
<body>
<applet code="AddNumbersApplet.class" width="300" height="200"></applet>
</body></html>

Step 6: Run the Applet in Eclipse

1. Click Run → Run Configurations.


2. Select Java Applet.
3. Click New Launch Configuration.
4. Under Main Class, type AddNumbersApplet.
5.Click Run.

Alternatively, you can use Applet Viewer:


Open Command Prompt (cmd).
 Navigate to the compiled class file directory:
cd path\to\your\project\bin
 Run the applet using:
appletviewer AddNumbersApplet.html
How to Find WindowBuilder in Eclipse & Create a New Swing
Application (Calculator Example)
WindowBuilder is a powerful GUI designer for Java Swing, SWT, and AWT in
Eclipse. If you don't see it in Eclipse, follow these steps to install and use it.

Step 1: Install WindowBuilder (If Not Installed)


 Open Eclipse.
 Click Help → Eclipse Marketplace.
 In the Find box, type "WindowBuilder".
 Select WindowBuilder - Swing/SWT Designer.
 Click Install and follow the prompts.
 Restart Eclipse after installation.

Step 2: Create a New Swing Application


 Open Eclipse.
 Click File → New → Other.
 Search for "WindowBuilder".
 Select Swing Designer → JFrame.
 Click Next.
 Name the class (e.g., CalculatorSwing).
 Click Finish.

Step 3: Design the Calculator UI


 Switch to Design View (if not already open).
 Drag and drop components from the Palette:
 JTextField (for input/output).
 JButton (for numbers and operations).
 JPanel (for layout).
 Right-click on a button → Add Event Handler → ActionListener to handle
button clicks.
