Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin missing on M1 Mac

Question

I am trying to run a Java Applet but it says it cannot find Java because the directory Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/... does not exist.

I have installed multiple Java versions but they only seem to be added under Library/Java/....

How can I run a Java Applet on a modern M1 machine?

It seems you are running an old version of Java. Could you please provide your current version? (Run java -version) — Thinkr, Jun 30 '23 at 12:43
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins is for Java applets running in the browser, not for standalone applications. How did you install Java, what is the value of JAVA_HOME? — nohillside, Jun 30 '23 at 12:45
Yes exactly, I need it for a Java applet that is running in my browser, not a standalone application. I have versions 17 and 19 installed. — Ioakim Ioakim, Jul 01 '23 at 21:22
How are you running the Applet and where does the error message appear? A screenshot of the relevant parts would be nice. Because since Safari 12 it doesn't suport the Java Plugin anymore. — cachius, Jul 03 '23 at 05:11

Install Java 1.8 which brings appletviewer, then run the applet with it:

appletviewer "https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/java/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/Clock/example1.html"
appletviewer file:///path/to/htmlWithApplet.html
