JOptionPane Troubles

[Tb0h]

Hello All,
I simply want to create an Applet which can be placed online to display a message saying "Hello". Whenever I use the code below the Applet pops up blank. My IDE is Eclipse.

import java.applet.Applet;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Main extends Applet implements Runnable {
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hello", "Output", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
	}
	public void run() {
	}

}

Oh yeah, and I want to use JOptionPane.

Read the applet tutorial on the Sun tutorial site (you should probably have done this prior to asking this question actually), as you've got applets all wrong. The tutorial will explain all, and you'll see why the main method isn't necessary and isn't called.

Yes. And also it's nice feature I would like see in my IDE one day, warning about the main method included in an applet. Actually it's not an error anymore, but a warning message is nice.
