How to make this example run on IE ?

Question

for example below :
* LunarPhasesRB.java requires the following files:
*    images/image0.jpg
*    images/image1.jpg
*    images/image2.jpg
*    images/image3.jpg
*    images/image4.jpg
*    images/image5.jpg
*    images/image6.jpg
*    images/image7.jpg
* It is a modified version of LunarPhases.java that
* uses radio buttons instead of a combo box.

If you want it to execute inside a web browser then you need to convert it to an applet. Alternatively you can investigate Java Web Start.
