Re: [Marathonman-devel] JFCUnit vs. marathon

[Dakshinamurthy K. <tec...@gm...>]

You can launch appletviewer using java command as follows:

java sun.applet.AppletViewer <url>

I guess once your applet is launched you might be able to make use of
Marathon. Please post back if this is of success to you.

Thanks and Regards
