Can an embedded Java Applet be hosted on Git-Pages

问题:

I want to embed a java applet (stored in a git repository) in the accompanying github-pages page. Is this possible?

回答1:

Yes.

Although GitHub pages can be generated through a simple markdown interface, any files in your branch will be served as part of your gh-pages-site.

This means you can host client side scripts like Java-Applets or JS on your GitHub Pages site.

To host a java applet:

1. Create a jar file for your Applet.
2. Place the .jar file into the root of your gh-pages branch.

3. Embed the applet in one of your html pages using your prefered method like this, or maybe this:

   *Assuming foo.jar and Bar.class are your file and applet-class*
   <embed 
   id="SomeName"
   type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6"
   width="999" height="999" 
   archive="foo.jar"
   code="Bar.class"
   pluginspage="http://java.com/download/"
   myParam="YourParams" />
   

4. Commit/Push the changes and wait (sometimes gh-pages are not updated immediately).
