The Applet module might not be available in your version of the IDE. If it
is available, you will see an option to create an Applet under the Classes category
in the New wizard. You can download the Applet module by choosing Tools
Update
Center.
The applet debugger is the default debugger for applets you create
using the IDE's applet template.
To view or change the properties of the applet debugger, open the
Options window, expand Debugging and Executing
Debugger Types and select Applet Debugging. When you change the value of a property, your
change affects all files that use the applet debugger.
The applet debugger contains the following properties:

value is False. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/lang/assert.html
for more information on assertions.
- Classic Switch. If True, uses the Java Classic virtual machine. If
False, uses the Java HotSpot virtual machine.

of the variables listed under the Argument Key.

- Boot Class Path. Specifies the path to the Java system libraries
that the IDE uses when debugging programs. By default the IDE uses the default
Java platform to debug sources.

By default the IDE uses its internal class path, which includes all mounted
filesystems and various directories in the IDE's installation and user directories
. The IDE ignores your CLASSPATH environment variable.
- Library Path. Specifies the class path containing the libraries and
modules that the IDE uses.
- Filesystems Path. Specifies the path for all directories and JARs
in the filesystem.
