In simple terms, an applet runs under the control of a
browser, whereas an application runs stand-alone, with the
support of a virtual machine. As such, an applet is
subjected to more stringent security restrictions in terms
of file and network access, whereas an application can have
free reign over these resources.
Applets are great for creating dynamic and interactive web
applications, but the true power of Java lies in writing
full blown applications. With the limitation of disk and
network access, it would be difficult to write commercial
applications (though through the user of server based file
systems, not impossible). However, a Java application has
full network and local file system access, and its
potential is limited only by the creativity of its
developers.
