What's Java Hybrid - Applet + Application?

Question

And how can I write one?

From comments to my reply, this followed:

Answer 1

A hybrid applet/application simply abstracts the initialization of two top-level containers, JFrame and JApplet. Examples are seen here, here and here.

Addendum: How does that work?

• The first example exposes a factory method, createGUI(), and it adds the returned panel to the extant top-level container.
• The second provides a static initContainer() method, passing the enclosing top-level container as a parameter.
• The third creates a class Hybrid that has a static fireup() method and a WindowListener for error reporting.
