Coding an Applet Stub

As you may recall from previous chapters, creating an applet typically
involves importing two class packages that Java will need to support the applet-
related methods. First, the java.applet package is imported to lay the foundation
for an applet by allowing the applet to inherit certain attributes and manipulate
classes.
Programmers commonly enter an import statement to import the Abstract
Window Toolkit (AWT), which provides resources that implement rich, attrac-
tive, and useful interfaces in Java applets. As you learned in Chapter 2, the
java.awt package is included with the SDK and contains all of the classes for
