Suggestions needed : 'Calling' whole class programs

[xLockx]

Basically in a nut shell I want to call a whole program with an action Listener so for example

code:

simpleMath.addActionListener(                 new ActionListener()                {                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)                   {                      buttonPressed.setText("SimpleMath.. Now Loading.."); /*Calls the simpleMath program from start to finish - perhaps in a new console window?*/                   }                });

I know to call a method from another program it would be something along the lines of...

code:

ClassName.methodName();

Any ideas? I read about one method (this was a while so I have forgotten the code) however I beleive it needed to be used in the main static method - my applet does not have either. The program I want to call is another applet class if that helps any...

Thanks.
