JSR 401 (Java SE 26): JEP Proposed to Target:

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 26:

  504: Remove the Applet API
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/504

  Summary: Remove the Applet API, which was deprecated for removal in
  JDK 17 (2021).  It is obsolete because neither recent JDK releases nor
  current web browsers support applets.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Mon 14 Jul 17:00 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2025-July/010207.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.org/jeps/1

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

Iris
