Try something like:
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("ImageName.bmp");
ImageIO.write( image, "bmp", out );
I think u need > 1.4 for that, just have a look at the API.

If it is 1.1 for an Applet for the MSVM, that
applet will need to be jarred and signed, but
I am not sure if the MSVM is compatible with
Sun style code signing.

If it is not 1.1 compatible for the MSVM,
use the 1.4 classes Oliver pointed out, and
consider using Swing for the UI.

Oh, and "BMP"?!? Any of the available formats
in the standard package (JPEG, PNG & GIF) are
superior to .BMP format, which is not net
friendly, and most specific to Windows.
