Hmm..are you sure your not forgetting some files like Applet.java and so??...
Plus , this cannot be called as a "Tutorial", Why? - because it does not explain/teach anything to anybody , you just put the code and disappear.
Explain more about the methods you have used, and if you can provide links for the sun.java tutorials about the "if" statement and so.
