Applet Runner is a plugin for JetBrains IDE’s (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, …), Eclipse and NetBeans that allows to run applets in embedded your IDE. Applet Runner Pro offers more possibilities like running the applets in a standalone application, customizing the toolbar, define a start-up url, restrict applets to a whitelist domain or blacklist based on regular expression.
