- select an applet class
- right click -> Run As -> Run As Applet
- no way to provide parameters
- running does not create a launch configuration -- hence still no way to provide parameters

Run As Applet should ask for parameters or an HTML file.
And in any case it should create a launch configuration which the user can modify afterwards

Run Configurations provide an entry for "Java Applet".

You can provide the command line arguments as you can do for other Java files.

Java Applet Run config Parameters

Right Click and Run option does not give the way to provide parameters. For this you can create a new run configuration and provide parameters.
The steps have been attached as an attachment.

once again. there is NO applet run configuration available.
the node shown in the attachment (Java Applet) is MISSING.
i have both JDT and WTP installed -- and one of them (most likely JDT) should probably provide this entry then? 
anyway. it is NOT there.

Can you try this on a plain eclipse SDK and confirm on which Build you are facing this problem ?

Perhaps the node has been filtered. Arne, could you check your config filtering preferences? They are found on the Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching > Launch Configurations preference page. You can also get to the filtering options right from the launch dialog using the right-most toolbar action - the 'Filter Launch Configurations...' action.

yepp, it was the filtering. the new theme i use has very hard to read checkmarks.
sorry for the bother
