Start applet from main without html or appletviewer

Question

Hello,
I have an applet that I would like to function outside of a web page or the appletviewer.
How would I open an instance of the applet in a main function of a class?
My applet class is entitled ViewData.
Thank you in advance,
Chris

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ViewData extends JApplet {
  public void init() {
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setBackground(Color.red);
    panel.add(new JLabel("ViewData", SwingConstants.CENTER));
    getContentPane().add(panel);
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("ViewData Applet");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JApplet applet = new ViewData();
    frame.getContentPane().add(applet);
    frame.setSize(400, 250);
    frame.setLocation(375, 100);
    applet.init();
    applet.start();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}
