Swing is used for desktop applications. Applets are used to create program which run in a browser.
I think you may have your terminology off a bit.javax.swing is a Java package of graphical user interface (GUI) classes.An Applet is a class designed to be embedded in a web browser.Among the classes in the Swing package is JApplet, which is an Applet extended to work with Swing components.There really is no "advantage" of one thing over the other. They are just different, if related, parts of Java.
Applet is an executable file that is automatically downloaded when we open a browser. Swing applications can operate on local data when the network is not there.
Applet is a heavy component,Applet uses AWT Layouts..like flow layout,Swing is a light weight component, Using UI Manager, swing have look and feel according
An applet is a Java program embedded in an HTTP document. When the HTTP document is loaded into a web browser, the Java program executes on the web. A widget = window gadget, a GUI (graphical user interface) control. A GUI control, such as a command button, is accessed by the user via a mouse click or by the keyboard. GUI programs can run on one's PC.
An applet skeleton is a basic structure or template used to create a Java applet. It typically includes essential methods such as init(), start(), stop(), and destroy(), which manage the applet's lifecycle. The skeleton provides a framework for developers to add their specific functionality and graphical elements, ensuring that the applet behaves correctly within a web browser or applet viewer.
Because an applet runs in a browser, and in this context the one in charge of the launch and execution of the applet is the Java Plug-in software in the browser. This plugin controls the applet life cycle through methods in our applet. These methods are init, start, stop and destroy. In this case the methods that the plugin search to begin the execution of the applet are init (to initialize itself) and start (to start the execution of the task in the applet).

add/remove programs applet in the control panel !
Java applet is a program used to run java applications while beans is a compiler used to design java programs (IDE, GUI) :-) GilbertC
A LOCAL applet is the one which is stored on our computer system.when browser try to access the applet, it is not necessary for our computer to be connected to The Internet. A REMOTE applet is the one which is not stored on our computer system and we are required to be connected to the Internet. PARITOSH Khanna Happy Programing
An applet is a piece of code that can be used for graphical user interaction. An applet generally uses java api's for applets. It could be a window/ a dialog box and some such gui. Visit www.sun.com for examples on applets
