Not really news. I have implemented a JApplet for a real-world-client (it's funny that that was a pharmaceutical company, BTW) in 2004. Just take precaution to make it reusable in another context (inherit form JPanel instead of JApplet) and be prepared to handle the '97s type of problems that come with it...
And the world turns despite the big molochs, currently working with some IBM guys. Sigh. Certified clue free variety. But nice people in all other respects.
A web application that depends on Java in the browser probably uses applets. That is not the best way to solve any problem since there are dependencies out of the programmers control (versions of Java on the client, browser problems,...), it is similar to a (windows only) ActiveX dependency.
Java Webstart is very different, it handles deploying Java Applications (typically Swing UI based impementations, nothing to do with Applets or JApplets), resolves Java version dependencies etc. Webstart uses any Java version since 1.3 and any browser to download the initial jnlp file (the launch file, an xml file containing download, security and configuration data) and start the javaws process. The application runs outside the browser context, stand alone.
If you still use 1997 technology (applets) then you're probably encountering the 1997's problems. Knowledge has evolved since those days.
No one can tell you with absolute certainty what will happen this afternoon let alone tomorrow or six months from now (except for God, but most people here don't believe in Him anyway)
Yeah, if proof of intelligent design would have been found in Vista, we all would have believed in Him. But some people here would suggest Bill didn't design it very well.
I am wondering why askslashdot is being used to push agendas/post news stories, i know this isn't a new thing, but aren't there real questions to be answered? Why couldn't this story just be a normal news submission?
Good question! You might submit it to askslashdot for some fine answers.
IMHO there is nothing fundamentaly wrong with Java, only sometimes in ways of using it.
My setup under Linux used to be something like:
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_07-sun
/usr/lib/j2re1.4.2_06-sun
...
ln -s/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/usr/lib/java
in.bashrc or so:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
...
now, users have it easy, can override versions if they want to
you have it easy because it's easy to find and manage versions
In (K)ubuntu you can install any version you want (not always very easy to do) and with sudo update-alternatives --config java pick the system default from a list (not per user), see the Wiki
For most apps I write/use I start from a small script, which allows picking your JVM, however this is rarely necessary, in my experience. E.g./usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/java -cp . some.path.MyApp
My experience: prefer Sun's JVM, it's the most stable, and when things go wrong, you get meaningful error messages. Be carefull with GCJ because it does not support every library and is a very different thing compared to the normal JVM's
Concerning J2EE: The sun downloads contain an 'Application Server' (AS), but J2EE is a set of specifications, not a product. J2EE AS's provide an implementation of that specification. Examples are Websphere, JBoss, BEA Weblogic, Apache Geronimo,...
Well, actually, there is a sign bit. But I meant to say that it is not sufficient to flip the sign bit to make the corresponding positive/negative number.
1. Teach them how to program and read documentation.
2. Make them catch up on the relevant RFCs.
3. Give them the servlet JavaDocs.
Java - like most OO environments - is much more than a programming language, besides learning best programming practices, you need to learn the 'libraries'. On top of that, lots of (open source) frameworks exist, in particular when it comes to writing web-apps. And to complicate even further, some of these frameworks can interact but overlap with their capabilities...
It's even hard for an experienced professional to pick the best options available, and the "best of breed" changes every few months.
To illustrate, the first things that I think people should have a conceptual understanding about in order to make an informed decision for the UI implementation:
Servlet API (with filters and listeners)
JSP
Custom Taglibraries
Spring IOC
Spring MVC
Struts
JSF
JSTL
Ant
...
For my current project's UI I'll probably go for a combination of struts and Custom Tag Libraries to leverage reuse.
Yeah, in 1871. Which is one of the reasons the Germans tried to do that again in 1914. In vain.
The 1940 visit didn't count, then did it? Or the 1814 and 1815 visits? Admitted, in 1814 and 1815 the English led the social call, after Napoleon with his armies had for the last 20-years or so occupied most of Europe. But the Austrians and Prussians were part of the alliance.

There are probably a lot more angry, lonely, childless catholics. Celibacy, you know?
And what about those uninhibited fornicating atheists? They must have lots of children too?
Nah. Just pointless prejudice.
This is an example what can be done with Java3D. Not really intended as a gaming platform, though

The answer you are looking for is '42'
You're welcome

Which job did you mean? Oh, wait. I just blew it! Never mind...

And even Thurrot says it: 'No. God, no.'

Katapult "knows" the names of executables/bookmarks/... even if you never used it before, nice if you have a freshly installed box
Alt-F2 just remembers the last entries you already typed, and changes its icon to reflect the content type/icon of the thing your 'URL' is ponting at

Because everybody else runs Windows ?
I'm not sure that can be done, but ImageMagick is a set of command line tools that allow you to do amazing things.
But the frst part could be Edge detection, from there you're on your own...
Well, actually, there is a sign bit. But I meant to say that it is not sufficient to flip the sign bit to make the corresponding positive/negative number.
Java uses the Twos complement notation
There is no 'sign' bit
ah? Kubuntu!
Try to focus, will you. All of us men must write our responses through a haze of testosterone...
Now, what was it you wanted to say?
You're mistaken, it's coBSD that is dying...

come on, this IS funny. "GOOGLED"!
try "google search engine" or "wp search engine" in Firefox, however I doubt IE offers these shortcuts...
It's a nice shortcut for googling that comes standard as well.

Hehe way ahead of the rest (see my nick) :-P Should count as prior art...

Nope, the rest does. 3th person, singular. Me thinking doing soing
