Need help with Java applet, might need NetBeans URL

Question

I posted the below question. It was never answered, only I was told to post to the NetBeans help forum. Yet I don't see any such forum on this site. Can someone tell me where the NetBeans help forum is located (URL).
Here is my original question:
I have some Java source code from a book that I want to compile. The name of the file is HashTest.java. In order to compile and run this Java program I created a project in the NetBeans IDE named javaapplication16, and I created a class named HashTest. Once the project was created, I cut and pasted the below source code into my java file that was default created for HashTest.java.
Now I can compile and build the project with no errors, but when I try and run it, I get a dialog box that says the following below (Ignore the [...])
[..................Dialog Box......................................]
Hash Test class wasn't found in JavaApplication16 project
Select the main class:
<No main classes found>
[..................Dialog Box......................................]
Does anyone know what the problem is here? Why won't the project run?
// Here is the source code: *****************************************************************************************************
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class HashTest extends Applet implements ItemListener
// public static void main(String[] args) {
// Hashtable to add tile images
private Hashtable imageTable;
// a Choice of the various tile images
private Choice selections;
// assume tiles will have the same width and height; this represents
// both a tile's width and height
private int imageSize;
// filename description of our images
private final String[] filenames = { "cement.gif", "dirt.gif", "grass.gif",
"pebbles.gif", "stone.gif", "water.gif" };
// initializes the Applet
public void init()
int n = filenames.length;
// create a new Hashtable with n members
imageTable = new Hashtable(n);
// create the Choice
selections = new Choice();
// create a Panel to add our choice at the bottom of the window
Panel p = new Panel();
p.add(selections, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
p.setBackground(Color.RED);
// add the Choice to the applet and register the ItemListener
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(p, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
selections.addItemListener(this);
// allocate memory for the images and load 'em in
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
Image img = getImage(getCodeBase(), filenames);
while(img.getWidth(this) < 0);
// add the image to the Hashtable and the Choice
imageTable.put(filenames[i], img);
selections.add(filenames[i]);
// set the imageSize field
if(i == 0)
imageSize = img.getWidth(this);
} // init
// tiles the currently selected tile image within the Applet
public void paint(Graphics g)
// cast the sent Graphics context to get a usable Graphics2D object
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
// save the Applet's width and height
int width = getSize().width;
int height = getSize().height;
// create an AffineTransform to place tile images
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
// get the currently selected tile image
Image currImage = (Image)imageTable.get(selections.getSelectedItem());
// tile the image throughout the Applet
int y = 0;
while(y < height)
int x = 0;
while(x < width)
at.setToTranslation(x, y);
// draw the image
g2d.drawImage(currImage, at, this);
x += imageSize;
y += imageSize;
} // paint
// called when the tile image Choice is changed
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
// our drop box has changed-- redraw the scene
repaint();
} // HashTest

That wasn't attention-grabbing enough apparantly. Let's try it again.
