My friend Jason has coined a new term.
Java programs that work in a browser are called applets. However, most browsers come with a very old version of Java that forces programmers to use sub-optimal features when building Java applets. Technically, you have to build applets using only the features of Java 1.1 without Swing.
These Java applets should be called cripplets.
