Java Applets From EarthWeb

All rights in and to the Java applets developed by EarthWeb LLC (the "Software") including, but not limited to, copyrights and trade secret rights, belong to EarthWeb LLC. EarthWeb LLC grants to Sun Microsystems Inc. ("Sun") a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to copy and distribute the Software to users as part of a demonstration program only. Neither Sun nor any user of the Software has any right to sell, transfer, disclose, display or otherwise make available the Software or any copies or portions thereof to any person other than a person or entity permitted by the terms hereof.

We have chosen for this CDROM a small collection of entertaining and interesting Java applets written by the programmers at EarthWeb.

Most of these applets can be seen on a Java-enabled browser, such as Netscape 2.0. There are two which are labelled "best seen/played in appletviewer." These exhibit problems with the current version of Netscape (2.0 beta 5) but work well invoked with the program "appletviewer," which is distributed with the Java Development Kit (JDK) available from Sun's java site http://www.javasoft.com.

If you use Netscape to view an applet, simply start up Netscape and enter the location of the applet's index.html file. Depending on your setup procedure for this CDROM, this can be a full URL:

http://www.someplace.com/java/Bounce/index.html

or a filename:

file:/home/user/myname/Bounce/index.html

The applet will then appear in your browser window.

If you use appletviewer, invoke appletviewer with the full URL of the applet as the argument:

appletviewer http://www.someplace.com/java/Bounce/index.html

or just the filename as the argument:

appletviewer /home/user/myname/Bounce/index.html

The Java source code for most of these applets can be found at EarthWeb's Java resource site "Gamelan" (http://www.gamelan.com). Gamelan is both a registry and directory of Java applets, source, and any other resources involving Java.

Enjoy!
