It's called the Java Developers Kit because it only contains the pieces
needed to create Java applets and applications. We purposefully took
out the HotJava browser to concentrate on getting the runtime and API
solid -- something we and the Java development community can live with
for awhile. Once we've got the JDK in a released state, we're planning
on getting a better HotJava out to everyone.
The appletviewer is a specialized browser (the only tags it recognizes are
applet tags), which should work with both file and http URLs. Assuming
you can ping the http server your URL references, you should be able to
access html files using the appletviewer using the same URLs as a regular
browser. If there aren't any applet tags in them, though, the applet-
viewer will complain that "No Applets were started...".
