title: Java applet does not call public static void main() anymore
body: <p>I have an applet that was originally built with JBuilder long time ago. I believe it worked fine until fairly recently. It has stopped working. I have imported it to Eclipse to debug, and found that  <code>public static void main()</code> is not called. This can explain the applet's crash.</p>
  
  <p>My hunch is that the newer JVM does not call <code>public static void main()</code> for applets.  Could anyone shed some light on this?</p>
