So, you’ve seen the news - Sun Microsystems has just released Java SE 6, and you’ve installed it.

Now, with Java 6 installed, you want to see how it runs. So, how about a simple “Hello World” applet? Feel free to try this one. It doesn’t do anything interesting - it’s just a test. It does, though, use the new Java 6 Layout Manager (it was written using Netbeans 5.5); and the button should look like a button on your Desktop. I suspect that Java Applets might work better under Java 6 than they did under Java 5.
