[edit] Types of Java

There are many types of Java programs which run differently:

  • Applet - can be put online (in web browsers)
  • Application - can only be run on the computer, cannot be put online
  • Servlet - runs on a server and helps to display web pages
  • Swing application - like an application, but can have a more graphical look
