1) To use JOGL in an applet, you have to sign it (due to the function System.loadLibrary and the native calls JOGL makes.) You can sign a JAR file here:

3) To display it as an applet, you need to create a xHTML/HTML file with the <applet> tag or <object> tag. The <applet> tag has been deprecated by W3C and now W3C recommends you use the <object> tag. A quick google search should reveal some more information on this.
