Another way to run the Java applets is to use Appletviewer application,
which is a part of Java SDK (Software Development Kit). First, you need to
download SDK from the Oracle website. Do do it, open this link in your
browser:
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
and select the download corresponding to the Operating System installed on
your computer. For example, if you run 64-bit Windows, the right file to
download is circled below.
Oracle requires to sign up for downloading this software. Once it is
downloaded, click on it to install and follow instructions on screen. Agree
with all offered default settings. After installation you will get two
folders in your Program files\Java folder.
One of them is for JDK, and appletviewer
application is in its bin subfolder.
Next step is download the ZIP archive for the applet to run from the course web page. For example, use the ZIP archive link for the Message Segmentation applet shown in the following image.

Unzip the downloaded archive, say, to the Switching folder. Now, open the command
prompt (type CMD on Windows) and use cd command to navigate to your applet folder.
Finally, call the appletviewer by typing its name followed by
Voilà, the applet is running now.
