Answer 1

Use below code with your code, where AppletClass is your Applet class.

AppletClass appletClass = new AppletClass ();

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
frame.add(appletClass );

// Set frame size and other properties
...

// Call applet methods
appletClass .init();
appletClass .start();

frame.setVisible(true);

More customizations can be done as required.

@KeithTyler combine the above code, which goes in a public static void main(String[] args) with the stub approach from this answer. – Hickie

Answer 2

Appletviewer is the way to go, BUT, it still requires a webpage with an applet-tag.

An alternative solution is to write a stub class, with a main method, that instantiates the applet, calls init(), start(), stop() and destroy() as would otherwise have been done by the browser or appletviewer.

Build a subclass, which implements main-method, and call init(), start(), stop(), destroy as needed.

If you use eclipse: Right-Click on your main java file (the one which extends Applet), select the 'Run As' submenu, and select 'Applet.
