Java application programs run by starting the Java interpreter from the command prompt and are compiled using the javac command and run using the java command. Any application program can access any data or information or any resources available on the system without any security restrictions. It’s a broad term used to define any kind of program in Java, but limited to the programs installed on your machine.
Java applications can run with or without graphical user interface (GUI). Examples of Java applications include database programs, development tools, word processors, text and image editing programs, spreadsheets, web browsers etc. An application is either executed for the user or for some other application program. Also referred to as an application program, a Java application is designed to perform a specific function to run on any Java-compatible virtual machine regardless of the computer architecture. It is a stand-alone Java program that runs with the support of a virtual machine in a client or server side.
Let’s study the difference between the two in detail. You can say, applets are kind of an internet application that doesn’t require any kind of deployment procedure or installation. In simple terms, application programs run with the help of a virtual machine independent of any security restrictions, whereas an applet cannot run without the help of a browser and is subjected to more harsh security restrictions in terms of network access. While applications are stand-alone Java programs that run directly on your machine, applets are specific programs that require use of a browser and should be included in an HTML web document. All Java programs are classified as Applications and Applets.
