How do I run an applet in the BlueJ terminal window? Please provide a code for the solution or an alternate method to do this as soon as possible.

How do I run this program in the BlueJ terminal window?
Please provide a working code to do this or an alternative method.

sorry! i don't wish to run it in the applet viewer. i want to run it from the main method of my program in a different thread so that i can use functions like System.out.println() also. the program above has to be run in a separate thread and the applet viewer must be launched from the main method during program execution and must close at exit.
