Converting a JFrame to a JApplet

I have a JFrame application working nicely. However now I'd like to run it on the web as an Applet. This is what I've done:

import MyPackage.*;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MyName extends JApplet
{

     public void init() {
        setSize(600,450);
        new MyName()
     }

    public MyName() {
        JShellFrame frame = new JShellFrame(true, null, null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

}

How can I make an html file to run this applet? Also, I have an external jar file that the applet will need. Does the applet not need a main method?

here's some html that will work:

<applet archive = "appName.jar" width = 900 height = 506 code = "main.class"/>

You can change the width and height according to the size your app needs. Also make sure to put the url as a path to the jar.

However now I'd like to run it on the web..

Then drop this nonsense and launch the frame from a link using Java Web Start. I say 'nonsense' for two reasons.

  1. JWS has existed since Java 1.2, & has been discussed in these forums several times in the last few days in regard to applets. Seems you are not doing much research.
  2. Of the 'gargantuan' 2 lines of applet code code shown above, one of them is ill-advised and the other is either pointless or would risk creating a stack overflow error (could not be bothered trying it to find out which).

Check out Getting Started With Applets. It covers relevant methods and life cycle. It mentions main method as well:

Unlike Java applications, applets do not need to implement a main method.

Deployment section covers HTML file details. For dependency jars you can specify more than one jar in archive attribute of applet tag.
