Robot Support for Testing Java Applets and Applications
A Java applet is a Java program embedded inside a Web page or displayed with an
applet viewer. Java applications are stand-alone programs that require a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) in order to run. Java applications create their own windows and are
not embedded inside Web pages.

Robot provides support for testing Java applets that run in the following
environments:
¾
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later with the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or
