< World-Wide Web > A modular, extensible World-Wide Web browser from Sun Microsystems that can execute programs written in the Java programming language. These programs, known as " applets ", can be included (like images) in HTML pages. Because Java programs are compiled into machine independent bytecodes , applets can run on any platform on which HotJava runs - currently (December 1995) SPARC / Solaris 2 and Intel 80x86 / Windows 95 , Windows NT .
