Events Tab

Events: List of events that can be handled in your applet(may not be all possible events)
Handled in Applet: Events that will be handled by you, the programmer. For unhandled events, the system will provide a default.

Callbacks: Not implemented. Instead of all events being handled in 'handleEvent', you can handle them in methods such as action() which co-responds to the ACTION_EVENT event. Code is generated BUT functionality will be duplicated if you handle MOUSE_DOWN in mouseDown() and in handleEvent().

Threading Tab

Fairly empty tab. More will be added, such as thread priorities, thread sub-classes, number of threads and possibly thread groups.

With Runnable Interface: The applet implements the 'Runnable' interface, which requires a run() method that gets called whenever you create a thread and pass it 'this'(this instance) class as its parameter.
With Thread Sub-class: You use a derived class of Thread to implement threading rather than with the Runnable interface. This does not generate much code for you
None: No threading whatsoever.

URLs Tab

Name: Name given to a particular URL. This will be used in the Resources Tab
URL: The URL itself, such as ftp://ftp.sun.com
