/*    <applet code="AppletRead" width="400" height="300"></applet>
*    use >appletviewer AppletRead.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class AppletRead extends JApplet {
  static boolean isApplet = true;
  public void init() {
    String file = "AppletRead.java";
    String address;
    if(isApplet)
      address = getCodeBase() + file;
    else
      address = "file:" +
                 System.getProperty("user.dir") +
                 System.getProperty("file.separator") +
                 file;
    JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
    try {
      URL url = new URL(address);                  // either of these two
//      URL url = getClass().getResource(file);    // methods works okay
      System.out.println("url = " + url);
      editorPane.setPage(url);
    catch(MalformedURLException murle) {
      System.out.println(murle.getMessage());
    catch(IOException ioe) {
      System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
    getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(editorPane));
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JApplet applet = new AppletRead();
    f.getContentPane().add(applet);
    f.setSize(400,300);
    f.setLocation(300,400);
    isApplet = false;
    applet.init();
    applet.start();
    f.setVisible(true);
