Java: Example - Generic Applet

This file defines an applet. This template is a reasonable way to start an applet, where GenericPanel is a subclass of JPanel and it contains the code to build a GUI with the appropriate listeners.

This will work for many applets, but there are additional methods that might be implemented if parameters or animation are used.
