## Java Explorer Updates

There have been significant updates to Java Explorer.

Java Explorer now uses the Java 1.1 event model instead of the Java 1.0 event model. This will require end users to use a browser that supports Java 1.1, but most modern browsers already do.

The control panels have changed significantly making them easier for end users to understand and use. This was done by adding a new tabbed panel class.

When a Java Explorer network is running, a status line also appears at the bottom of the control panel.

Internally, the Control Panels are now constructed using the TableLayout class. This totally free layout manager provides an alternative to the GridBagLayout. It can do anything GridBagLayout can do and much, much more. Yet it is remarkably simple and easy to use. <https://tablelayout.dev.java.net/>

Added new functionality to allow data to be passed in through a DXLInput via an Applet Param.

The generated HTML creates more comments explaining possible problems and updates the applet tag to be more conformant.

The WebOptions macro now makes it more clear what the inputs are.

Fix for the stopserver script. No longer needing to use kill.

FileSelector components are now built to pass quoted text inside the applet.
