title: Converting a simple Applet GUI from Swing to JavaFX
body: <p>I am trying to create an applet that will replace a confusing CLI with a nice JavaFX GUI. I don't have extensive experience with GUI design and most of what we learned in the classroom environment was Swing/AWT. Having toyed a little bit with JavaFX, I feel that it has already shown to be far better, however there aren't many good tutorials/articles out there about creating JavaFX programs intended to run as applets. Right now I can't even seem to convert the following simple login UI from Swing to JavaFX. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.applet.Applet;
  import java.awt.*;
  import javax.swing.*;
  
  
  public class ACLEditor extends Applet {
  
      public void init() {
  
          /* Basic Layout */
          setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 2));
  
          /* Components */
          JLabel username_l = new JLabel("Username:");
          JTextField username = new JTextField("", 10);
          JLabel password_l = new JLabel("Password:");
          JPasswordField password = new JPasswordField("", 10);
          JLabel hostname_l = new JLabel("Hostname:");
          JTextField hostname = new JTextField("0.0.0.0", 10);
  
          JButton connect_btn = new JButton("Connect");
  
          /* Place all Controls on the Layout */
          add(username_l);
          add(username);
          add(password_l);
          add(password);
          add(hostname_l);
          add(hostname);
          add(connect_btn);
  
      }
  
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help on this would be appreciated. 
  Note: I do understand how to create a JavaFX UI for a standalone application, I just can't seem to grasp how to make it into an applet</p>
