Its probably an embedded applet not an application.

There is no main method because it is an applet. Look at Sun's website for information on applets.

You should be able to add your own main method within the code to instanciate the applet and call its init method.

sorry but ihave no idea how to implement a main method onto an applet,. sound rather too much for me.....!



can anyone give some basic steps how i could do this?

At the beginning of the class if it says extends Applet change it to extends Frame. if it says extends JApplet change it to extends JFrame

the method called public void init() should be changed to public Asteroids() without the void bit. Inside this method at the end add setSize(500,500); setVisible(true);

add this method to the class :

public static void main(String[] args)
{
new Asteroids()'
}
