JEP proposed to target JDK 17: 398: Deprecate the Applet API for Removal

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The following JEP is 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.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 23 March, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 17.
