> Please review this PR which removes occurrences of 'applet' within the corelibs specification. Applet has been deprecated since JDK9, and may be a confusing term for new Java developers, so it should be removed from the documentation.
> 
> Primarily, usages where 'applet' is used interchangeably with 'application' are removed.
> This change does not include removal of usages in a historical sense. For example, something such as 
> 
> 
>  * @apiNote
>  * Thread groups provided a way in early Java releases to group threads and provide
>  * a form of <i>job control</i> for threads. Thread groups supported the isolation
>  * of applets and defined methods intended for diagnostic purposes. It should be
>  * rare for new applications to create ThreadGroups and interact with this API.
> 
> 
> in _src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/ThreadGroup.java_. 
> Please see the JBS issue comments for further reasoning on why other occurrences were not removed.
