Java
A bit thin so far, just a few notes originating from 2003.
Software development
JAVA ---------------------------------------- [3] Java 1.4.1 Development for Mac OS X Java 1.4.1 Development for Mac OS X provides up-to-date information for writing Java applications on Mac OS X Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4.1. It highlights the differences between Java development on Mac OS X and other platforms, and serves as a hands-on guide to help you save time and development effort. http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Java/Java141Development/index.html For more developer documentation: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/
Java and Printing of Applets, web pages with Applets
The printing of Java applets is a relatively recent development and is not supported by all browser's or platforms. Also, combinations of browsers and printers have proven not to print well. Even if you have the latest browser, you still may not be able to print applets. Some users have experienced the unexplained phenomenon of printing once and getting a solid block where the applet should be, then printing again and getting the applet to print perfectly. We do not know what causes this. There are some printer settings which may need to be adjusted for an applet to print properly. Due to the many various possibilities of combinations of browsers and printer settings, we will not attempt to suggest what settings to change.
