    Applet testing environment

    I want to write an applet that I will require signing because of the features it uses. I am interested in finding an applet run environment (non-browser?) that would allow me to test the applet without signing it so that I can worry about signing it once the applet functions the way I want. Is there such an application?

    Why not use the appletviewer that the JDK provides? This is usually a wise move because sometimes the Java Runtime that is contained within most broswers is not up to date with the latest Java version.

    Yeah, I rediscovered the AppletViewer after I posted the question. I'll have to try it out. Apparently I would be able to specify the security level too. Will post more when I get a chance to work with it.

    Thanks,

    I can't say that I am making progress. What I have discovered is appletviewer behaves differently than ie 5.5 when working with applets, so I can't recommend it for debugging. Right now I'm enmired in the black arts of signing an applet. I think I will need to add the actual signing into my compilation/testing loop, much as I'd wished to avoid it.
