The HTML editor obviously has some problems with the <applet ...>-tag's code="..." parameter. It puts "wiggles" under valid values (and emits warnings where it *should not*) and does *not* put wiggles (and does not emit warnings) for values where it *should*.

To give a reproducible example I have created a test project, where an HTLML file "test.html" tries to reference an applet "test.Test" that is available as plain class file (WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/test/Test.class) and packed into a .jar file (WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/test.jar):

<WebContent>
   WEB-INF
      classes
         test
            Test.class
      lib
     test.jar
 test.html

Note: project setup and directory names are the defaults chosen by the misc. project and file creation wizards.
      
The test.html files contains different variants of the code parameter. The actually *working* variants are 3, 4, 21, and 22, but the editor accepts the variants 5, 7, 14, 21, and 22, and emits warnings for all others, which means - except for the last two - the warnings *do not reflect* whether the parameter value is correct or not. 

To see the working variants, open the test.html file in your Java-enabled Browser. The working variants emit "Hello <nr>", all others hang for a while and/or yield exceptions.
