| How do I create a screensaver from a Java applet or class file?
Creating a screen saver
from a Java applet is easier than you might think. Active Screen
Saver Personal/DevKit displays any Java applet just like your web
browser.
If you are using Active
Screen Saver DevKit, you will need to distribute any .class, .cab, or .zip
files required by you Java applet with your screen saver.

For more information on this applet search for "Lake Class Java Applet"
in your favorite search engine.
A lot of screen savers feature Java applets, and if
you've been searching the Internet, you may have found an applet you'd
like to add to your own screen saver. This guide will help you to do just
that, and will point out some common problems and tips to simplify the
task.
- First, select the Java Applet you would like to add to your screen
saver. Download each of the necessary .class files along with
the appropriate supporting files, if applicable.
- Next, make a note of the HTML source, (most applet developers will
provide sample HTML on their web site), and copy the syntax into your
HTML document.
- Move the .class or .jar file(s) into the appropriate
directory (the path indicated in the CODEBASE= portion of the
<APPLET> tag, or the directory of your HTML document if no
CODEBASE= is specified).
- If the Applet requires image and/or sound files (generally .gif,
.jpg, and .au files), place them in the appropriate
directories as indicated on the applet page.
- You are now ready to test the Applet by displaying the HTML page
using your browser.
-
If everything is working properly, you are ready to begin using the applet
as your screen saver, or to redistribute it using Active Screen Saver DevKit.
Troubleshooting
If you see "Applet can't start: class ______ not found" in
your browser's status line, it can mean one of two things:
- The .class file(s) are not named correctly. Java is case-sensitive,
so be sure to follow precise capitalization.
- The .class file(s) are not in the correct directory. They should be
located in the path indicated in the CODEBASE= portion of the
<APPLET> tag, or the directory of your HTML document if no
CODEBASE= is specified.
To further enable you to locate the problem, you may start the Java
console (under Internet Explorer). See your Internet Explorer Help
for more information on enabling this property.. The Java Console will
give you more details than the status bar, and may help you find out why
the applet will not run. Often, it will show you that the applet depends
on more than one class file, and you'll need to upload that class file as
well.
The applet may be written for a newer JDK than you have on your system.
