Java applet wont run
- by Courtney
I am trying to get a Java applet to run properly when linked to an HTML page in Dreamweaver CC. I'm new to all this so please bear with me here. First I saved this code to a .java file
//Triangle.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Triangle extends Applet {
public void paint (Graphics g){
int bottomX=80;
int bottomY=200;
int base=100;
int height=100;
g.drawLine(bottomX,bottomY,bottomX+base,bottomY);
g.drawLine(bottomX+base,bottomY,bottomX+base/2,bottomY-height);
g.drawLine(bottomX+base/2,bottomY-height, bottomX,bottomY);
}
}
I then compiled it entering javac Triangle.java
After that, I inserted it into a Dreamwever page using:
<html>
<applet code=Triangle.class width=400 height=400 >
</applet>
</html>
Now when I try and open the page in Chrome I get an error reading:
UnsupportedClassVersionError Triangle: Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
This, as I have read, is an issue with using two incompatible Java versions? In my Java Control Panel it says I am using version 1.8.0_20 and my JDK is jdk1.8.0_20.
Does anyone see anything super obvious that I am doing wrong here?
