'''HotJava''' (later called '''HotJava Browser''' to distinguish it from [[HotJava Views]]) was a modular, extensible [[web browser]] from [[Sun Microsystems]] implemented in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. It was the first browser to support [[Java applet]]s, and was Sun's demonstration platform for the then-new technology.<ref>{{cite web|last=Watson|first=Dave|title=A Quick Look at HotJava|url=http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2001/hotjava.html|publisher=The Southern California OS/2 User Group|access-date=August 16, 2010|date=July 21, 2001}}</ref> It has since been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, the Sun Download Center was taken down on July 31, 2011, and the download link on the official site points to a placeholder page saying so.<ref>{{cite web | title=Sun Download Center Decommission | website=oracle.com | url=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/sdlc-decommission-333274.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110806075314/http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/sdlc-decommission-333274.html | archive-date=2011-08-06 | url-status=dead | access-date=2011-10-29 }}</ref>
