SInce this exercise is just to convert applet to main, I tried to keep the 
instructions same (although I agree it seems ambiguous and I also am not clear 
what needs to be done) which seems to be ok with the tester since 2009 when the 
test was written.
I think whatever test change needs to be done should be done in JDK-8146446 as 
till then this test will not be run..

ELse if you disagree, what you propose to be written in the "instructions"?
