=== java.applet === {{Main|Java applet}} Created to support [[Java applet]] creation, the {{Javadoc:SE|package=java.applet|java/applet|module=java.desktop}} package lets applications be downloaded over a network and run within a guarded sandbox. Security restrictions are easily imposed on the sandbox. A developer, for example, may apply a [[digital signature]] to an applet, thereby labeling it as safe. Doing so allows the user to grant the applet permission to perform restricted operations (such as accessing the local hard drive), and removes some or all the sandbox restrictions. Digital certificates are issued by [[certificate authority|certificate authorities]]. Because Java applets are now deprecated, this package is itself deprecated.
