JSR 392 (Java SE 17): JEP Propose to Target: 398: Deprecate the Applet API for Removal

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 17:

  398: Deprecate the Applet API for Removal
       https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/398

  Summary: Deprecate the Applet API for removal.  It is essentially
  irrelevant since all web-browser vendors have either removed support
  for Java browser plug-ins or announced plans to do so.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Tue 23 Mar 23:59 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2021-March/005191.html

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/1

A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this
