Complete the Applet we began developing in class. DO NOT copy and paste the code, but rather key it back in line by line so that you see how it is coded. Once you have the code successfully compiled, you will need to create a basic HTML document to wrap the applet in. The HTML code needs to 'point' to the java class that you created. The image needs to be in the same directory as your HTML file assuming that you only refer to it by filename.

For homework:

Create an Applet that allows the user to enter in an amount to save, an interest rate and the number of years it is allowed to earn interest (compounded annually).

Include a calculate button that display the total amount of money and the total interest.

External classes are fundamental to Java and object oriented programming. The NetBeans IDE can access these external class files through the use of JAR files. When you compile your code the Net Beans IDE allows builds a JAR file of the class that is stored in the 'dist' directory.

Here is a link to a tutorial on building JAR files in Net Beans:
