A Java applet can have any or all of the following advantages:
* it is simple to make it work on Windows, Mac OS and Linux, i.e. to make it cross platform* the same applet can work on "all" installed versions of Java at the same time, rather than just the latest plug-in version only. However, if an applet requires a later version of the JRE the client will be forced wait during the large download.* it runs in a sandbox, so the user does not need to trust the code, so it can work without security approval* it is supported by most web browsers* it will cache in most web browsers, so will be quick to load when returning to a web page* it can have full access to the machine it is running on if the user agrees* it can improve with use: after a first applet is run, the JVS is already running and starts quickly, benefiting regular users of Java* it can run at a comparable (but generally slower) speed to other compiled languages such as C++* it can be a real time application* it can move the work from the server to the client, making a web solution more scalable with the number of users/clients
