title: Appletviewer in BlueJ Does Not Start
body: <p>So I run an applet as usual when in the bottom left corner where it says "Executing applet in appletviewer" stays there and appletviewer never opens up. When I right click on the class, "Run Applet" is in red, if that's important at all. I've uninstalled everything Java related on my computer and re-installed JDK 7 multiple times as well as BlueJ and I still get the result of appletviewer not popping up. The applet class I keep trying is straight from my textbook's website so I'm guessing there's nothing wrong with the code. The applet works fine with everyone else's computers at my school. So what can I do to make appletviewer work? </p>
  
  <p>Here's the code to the class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import javax.swing.JApplet;
  import java.awt.*;
  
  public class Snowman extends JApplet
  {
  public void paint (Graphics page)
  {
    final int MID = 150;
    final int TOP = 50;
  
    setBackground (Color.cyan);
  
    page.setColor (Color.blue);
    page.fillRect (0, 175, 300, 50);  // ground
  
    page.setColor (Color.yellow);
    page.fillOval (-40, -40, 80, 80);  // sun
  
    page.setColor (Color.white);
    page.fillOval (MID-20, TOP, 40, 40);      // head
    page.fillOval (MID-35, TOP+35, 70, 50);   // upper torso
    page.fillOval (MID-50, TOP+80, 100, 60);  // lower torso
  
    page.setColor (Color.black);
    page.fillOval (MID-10, TOP+10, 5, 5);   // left eye
    page.fillOval (MID+5, TOP+10, 5, 5);    // right eye
  
    page.drawArc (MID-10, TOP+20, 20, 10, 190, 160);   // smile
  
    page.drawLine (MID-25, TOP+60, MID-50, TOP+40);  // left arm
    page.drawLine (MID+25, TOP+60, MID+55, TOP+60);  // right arm
  
    page.drawLine (MID-20, TOP+5, MID+20, TOP+5);  // brim of hat
    page.fillRect (MID-15, TOP-20, 30, 25);        // top of hat
  }
  }
