A helloworld java applet that will work on an html file

Question

I have spent a lot of time trying to get a java applet to work on a web page. Of course, I can download zip packages and they will work. But I can?t seem to find a formula for creating something simple that will work.
All the examples that I have found will either work on Windows when running it on the command line, or work in Netbeans, but none of them will work when I put time into an html file on a linux web server.
Can someone post, maybe the simplest code that will output ?Hello world? on a Linux Apache Web server.
I have the gist for creating and programming java? as least a basic start. But I?m anxious to see an example that I can compile that will actually display on an html file and not just my Windows programming environment.
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

Is that a question? Please make sure to add a question mark.
// <applet code='HelloWorldApplet' width='400' height='300'></applet>
import javax.swing.*;
public class HelloWorldApplet extends JApplet {
public void init() {
add(new JLabel("Hello World!"));
validate();

The lines of text you provided were very enlightening. I was able to do a lot of dissecting and experimenting and have the full gist of my question answered. I don?t have any problems outputting either text on the console or text on browsers.
