After downloading NB 26 I went through what it can create and came across 
Applets and Applet Forms. I am just curious to know why this project type and 
associated files still exist? Is it for backward compatibility and therefore 
requires nothing newer that Java 8? I sometimes think of Applets as the 
deprecated feature that cannot die. I am just curious why as I liked Applets. 
The failure, correct me if I have this wrong, to convince browsers to include a 
JVM much like the new NB installers do, led to the demise of Applets. Oh, Flash 
also had something to do with the demise of Applets although Flash is dead and 
buried and Applets are still trying to raise from the grave.

Please do not take this inquiry too seriously, I am just curious and likely am 
unaware of why Applets are hanging on,

Ken
