Main method not found in class

Question

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;

class Ball {

    int x, y, radius, dx, dy;
    Color BallColor;

    public Ball(int x, int y, int radius, int dx, int dy, Color bColor) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.radius = radius;
        this.dx = dx;
        this.dy = dy;
        BallColor = bColor;
    }

}

public class Bounce extends Applet implements Runnable {

    Ball redBall;

    public void init() {
        redBall = new Ball(250, 80, 50, 2, 4, Color.red);
        Thread t = new Thread(this);
        t.start();
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.setColor(redBall.BallColor);
        setBackground(Color.pink);
        g.fillOval(redBall.x, redBall.y, redBall.radius, redBall.radius);
        g.drawLine(150, 400, 50, 500);
        g.drawLine(150, 400, 450, 400);
        g.drawLine(50, 500, 350, 500);
        g.drawLine(450, 400, 350, 500);
        g.drawRect(50, 500, 20, 100);
        g.drawRect(330, 500, 20, 100);
        g.drawLine(450, 400, 450, 500);
        g.drawLine(430, 500, 450, 500);
        g.drawLine(430, 500, 430, 420);
    }

    public void run() {
        while (true) {
            try {
                displacementOperation(redBall);
                Thread.sleep(20);
                repaint();
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }
    }

    public void displacementOperation(Ball ball) {
        if (ball.y >= 400 || ball.y <= 0) {
            ball.dy = -ball.dy;
        }
        ball.y = ball.y + ball.dy;
    }

}

When I compile and run the code it says that the main method is not found in the class Bounce, please define the method as public static void main(String[] args). I do not know how to fix this would much appreciate if someone could point out what's wrong. Thanks

You can run this Applet on applet enabled browser. The applet is initiated with following method.

public void init() // This method works as like main.

You just need to configure applet tag on html page to run this code.

<applet  code   = "Bounce.class"
    width   = "500"
    height  = "300">
</applet>
