You can no longer write a program that executes both as an applet
and as an application -- at least if you use the resize() method in
your Applet subclass. Arthur says that the problem is that the parent
of the AppletPanel doesn't know about resizing.

This has a major impact because all my examples for the UI chapter
work both as applets and applications, and all my screenshots are of
the applications.

Here's a little program that should work but doesn't. I've got lots
more....

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class BorderEx1 extends Applet {
    public void init() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
         setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 14));
   
add("North", new Button("North"));
add("South", new Button("South"));
add("East", new Button("East"));
add("West", new Button("West"));
add("Center", new Button("Center"));

        resize(300, 100);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
Frame f = new Frame("Border Layout Example");
BorderEx1 ex1 = new BorderEx1();

ex1.init();

f.add("Center", ex1);
f.pack();
f.resize(f.preferredSize());
f.show();
    }
}
