> Please review this PR which removes occurrences of 'applet' within the > corelibs specification. Applet has been deprecated since JDK9, and may be a > confusing term for new Java developers, so it should be removed from the > documentation. > > Primarily, usages where 'applet' is used interchangeably with 'application' > are removed. > This change does not include removal of usages in a historical sense.
