Java 1.1 took a lot of properties out of constructors and moved them to
set/get methods.  This allows tools like JBuilder easier use in their
modification from a visual environment.

To create a 1.0 applet, have a look at
http://www.borland.com/devsupport/jbuilder/qanda/308.html

Although there's not much there, we recommend that you stay out of the
visual designer to avoid set/get and various Listeners new to Java 1.1
