The key is "applet". Java applets are not Java programs, which *do* have
a main(). Java applets are either run by a Java-enabled browser such as
HotJava or Netscape's latest, or the AppletViewer. The AppletViewer
class does have a main(), because it's a Java program.
Applet flow consists of init(), start(), stop(), and destroy(), and are
described in the class documentation for java.applet.Applet.
