Java windows/applets?

[Alkaline]

Hi. I'm kinda new to Java (i'm learning this at colege), and have some C/C++ knowledge, so i'd like to try do a simple window, but i don't know how they're called in Java :X are they applets? or applets are java progs that appear in webBrowsers ? could you give me some pointers on this please? tks :D
