Java Applet

when i make a java applet using JCreator it creates a two files one .htm and another one is .java, not .class, the question is how to make java applet using JCreator?

The .java file is the source file. You need to compile the source file into a .class file.

how to compile it?

The compile process is different for each compiler. Usually there is either a toolbar button for quick access or an option to compile under the project or build items on the menu. I've never used JCreator so I can't tell you exactly how.

To be more precise.. Each java Itegrated Development Environment(IDE) will have different menu items/buttons for you to click to start the compiler.

Java IDE != compiler.

It's okay. When I used to help teach java courses I used to correct students all the time as they would confuse JBuilder, JCreator, Forte, etc as being the compiler. Now I just do it out of habit. Normally I probably wouldn't notice when someone uses the terms interchangibly. :)
