You don’t need the rmic compiler unless you work with legacy RMI clients. Now stubs are generated automatically at runtime. Let’s see a very minimalistic example. danielstoner Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:30:03 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/29783/the-1-minutes-getting-started-with-rmi-tutorial http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/29783/the-1-minutes-getting-started-with-rmi-tutorial In Java 6 standard support for scripting engines was introduced (JSR 223: Scripting for the JavaTM Platform). This tutorial describes how to design a scriptable application and what you need to do to allow the users to write scripts for your application in various scripting languages. danielstoner Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:40:53 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28984/how-to-script-a-java-application-with-groovy-jython-jruby-and-javascript http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28984/how-to-script-a-java-application-with-groovy-jython-jruby-and-javascript Many times it is useful to be able to get programmatically information about the network interfaces present on a host. Java standard library include a number of classes designed to provide access to this information. The most important is java.net.NetworkInterface which suffered a major face lifting in Java 6. Now it is possible to get a lot more information about every network interface in the system. Of special importance is the ability to get the MAC address of an interface. danielstoner Wed, 28 May 2008 23:00:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28345/network-interface-details-with-java-6 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28345/network-interface-details-with-java-6 A resource is a file situated somewhere in the class path. It can be a file in a package folder, in the classes folder or in a jar file. Resources are usually needed at runtime and they can be properties files, images and so on. The ClassLoader and Class classes provide methods to find the desired resources but a little bit of attention has to be payed to the quirks of this API. danielstoner Tue, 27 May 2008 14:30:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28307/locating-resources-in-java http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28307/locating-resources-in-java One more nice touch in the Java 6 offensive to the desktop is giving Java applications the ability to add icons to the system tray in a pretty consistent way across platforms. Of course differences exist and they will show up to some degree in the code but at least now the framework exists and the programmer’s effort is a lot smaller. danielstoner Tue, 20 May 2008 17:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28157/more-desktop-integration-the-system-tray http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28157/more-desktop-integration-the-system-tray Java 6 tries hard to make Java applications easier to integrate in the desktop environment of various platforms. One of such welcome attempts is the new java.awt.Desktop class adapted from JDIC (JDesktop Integration Components). danielstoner Tue, 20 May 2008 17:00:03 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28156/desktop-integration-with-java-6 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28156/desktop-integration-with-java-6 In Java 6 a better way of interacting with the command prompt was introduced, the java.io.Console class. Together with the utility class java.util.Scanner introduced in Java 5 this new API can be used to develop more advanced Java console applications. danielstoner Tue, 20 May 2008 17:00:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28155/console-applications-with-java-6 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28155/console-applications-with-java-6 Introduced in Java 6 is the option of displaying a splash screen when an application starts. The splash image file can be specified on the command line with the new splash option -splash:splash.jpg or in the manifest of a jar file with the SplashScreen-Image option. danielstoner Mon, 12 May 2008 05:00:03 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27939/displaying-a-splash-image-with-java-6 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27939/displaying-a-splash-image-with-java-6 An inner class is a class declared inside another class. The enclosing class can be a top level class or another inner class. The reason for using inner classes is to properly implement composition when the life of inner class instances are controlled by the outer class instance. danielstoner Fri, 09 May 2008 06:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27857/inner-classes http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27857/inner-classes Local inner classes are declared inside of a block of code. This block can be static bloc, a constructor, a method or simply a block of code surrounded with curly braces. These classes are only visible inside the enclosing block, but inside the block full hierarchies of classes can be developed. danielstoner Fri, 09 May 2008 00:30:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27858/local-inner-classes http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27858/local-inner-classes A nested interface is just a regular interface defined inside another class or interface. They are actually defined inside the body of the parent class, not only in the same file. danielstoner Fri, 09 May 2008 00:00:04 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27856/static-nested-interfaces http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27856/static-nested-interfaces A static nested class is a regular class defined inside of a package level class or inside of another static nested class. They are actually defined inside the body of the parent class, not only in the same file. danielstoner Fri, 09 May 2008 00:00:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27855/static-nested-classes http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27855/static-nested-classes Learn to use Java's built in LinkedList class to easily and quickly create Linked Lists.

Otherwise, continue with this tutorial. I will show you the basics of using objects oriented programming using "real world" objects to help you along with way. We will be using two different files, save one file name "Beer.java" and the other "DrinkBeer", which will be our objects and main. sunjester Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:50:19 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/24541/introduction-to-oop-with-java http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/24541/introduction-to-oop-with-java This tutorial will show you how to make stars for a background in your application using random numbers and loops.
