How to get simple java game into a window(applet)

I am working on a very simple text adventure game in Java and I am just wondering how to get it into a window so it will look more like an actual game. Like could I have someone click on an icon and it pop up with this simple game? Thank you for your help and I am sorry if I waste your time!

//bored programming
import java.util.*;
public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
    Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
    String x = "hey";
    System.out.println("Welcome to adventure game!");
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Which way do you want to go?:  ");
    x = input.nextLine();
    if (x.equals ("west")){
        System.out.println("You walk towards the forest.");
        west();
    }
    else if (x.equals("east"))
        System.out.println("You go East!");
    else if (x.equals("south"))
        System.out.println("You go South!");
    else if (x.equals("north"))
        System.out.println("You go North!");
    else
        System.out.println("You cannot go that way!!");
    }


    public static void west(){
    Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
    System.out.println("Which way shall you go?");
    String x = input.nextLine();

    }
}

Just Migrate your code to NetBeans IDE.Create a Window and may be a text box and whatever you want and finally pack it to an executable jar.

JTextArea may be a good starting point. Examples may be found in the tutorial and here.
