You almost certainly need a Java runtime environment (JRE), one that is
external to a browser.

The JRE in a browser runs Java applets; a real JRE runs Java
applications.

Applets are deliberately limited in what they can do; applications are
not.

For example, an untrusted applet is disallowed from opening a file
that is local to your browser.  Think about the security implications
here...

Assuming your CLASSPATH is set up properly, something like:

java edu.unh.cs.kdc.thesis.SomeParallelApplication

would work.  (this is a sample of how I have part of my thesis package
set up).

Just another Java hacker,
