Exception in thread AWT-EventQueue-2 java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I am trying to run a JApplet with jnlp. I have created my MyApplet which extends JApplet and packaged in a jar. I have also created MyApplet.jnlp and MyApplet.html My Runtime env is jdk 1.7.0.02.

When I run it in a browser I get below exception from the browser, but my applet is running properly from the eclipse as a stand alone

This is the exception I am getting

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException
            at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.AWTAppletAdapter$8.run(Unknown Source)
            at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.AWTAppletAdapter.runOnEDT(Unknown Source)
            at com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.awt.AWTAppletAdapter.resize(Unknown Source)

Please find my code below. This is the applet class which is running fine through Eclipse:

        import java.awt.Color;
        import java.awt.Container;
        import java.awt.Graphics;

        import javax.swing.JApplet;
        //This is my applet class
        public class MyApplet extends JApplet {

            private Container Panel;
        //constructor
              public MyApplet () {
                super ();
                Panel = getContentPane();
                Panel.setBackground (Color.cyan);
              }

    //paint method
              public void paint (Graphics g) {
                int Width;
                int Height;

                super.paint (g);
                Width = getWidth();
                Height = getHeight();
                g.drawString ("The applet width is " + Width + " Pixels", 10, 30);
                g.drawString ("The applet height is " + Height + " Pixels", 10, 50);
              }

        }

This is the html file, MyApplet.html:
