I have a project I wrote in JAVA (not javascript) in eclipse, and it pops up as a window using swing. I want to be able to now put the project as a frame within a webpage. I assume there is some sort of wrapper code to implement the java runtime environment, but I do not know what it is. I want to be able to upload the .java files to a relative folder, then run the program on the webpage. I have seen it done on other pages, but I dont know how to do it. Does anyone have any links to tutorials for this sort of thing?

Most likely you'll want to create a Java Applet. This embeds the running of the Java program in the browser. You'll have to have compiled your code into at least a .class or, more likely, a .jar file for distribution. I'd really encourage you to read the information in the link as I think that is what you'll want.

Well when Java code is compiled the .class file is automatically created. What IDE are you using to code your Java? Or are you just using Notepad?

I am using eclipse to code. Thanks for that link. That definitely has some useful information on it.

As stated before, a Java applet would probably be the way to go. However, you could try to use JSP to achieve your goal.

Converting a Java Application into a Java Applet is no easy task. The two utilize almost entirely different libraries for all sorts of things like imaging/audio/GUI/etc. That being the case, there is no "wrapper" class to convert a Java Application into a Java Applet. You have to start from the beginning with the intent of making a Java Applet.
