First, we'll cover some of the most Frequently Asked Questions which relate directly to the Java Boutique, then we'll point you to the various Java FAQs which are available on the Web. The Java Boutique FAQ Question: When I try to download a class file from the Java Boutique, and also other places, Netscape saves the file with an .exe extension. What can I do to prevent that from happening? Answer: This is caused by a bug in Netscape, and you can prevent it by holding down the shift key when you click to download the class file. Then you can save it as it with the proper file extension. Question: I downloaded an applet from your site, and I get a "____ class not found" error message, and the applet won't run. Why? Answer: You need to make sure that you have placed the applet class files within the specified directory, and that you are pointing to them correctly from the applet tag. Also, make sure that you have all the required class files, as many applets use more than one. Question: What can I do to prevent someone from using an applet which resides on my own server--just pointing to it with a codebase paramater? Answer: Unless you are the author of the applet, and wish to invest theft-prevention code into your applet, there's not much you can do. You can use the search engines to look for occurances of the applet, and check to see if they're using your own applet. Also, Web server log files will show you how often the class file is being requested, and you can easily figure out if the hits are coming from your own use of the applet or another person's page. Question: Are the applets on the Java Boutique copyrighted, and can you permit me do do what I want with the applet? Answer: Every applet on the Java Boutique is still the property of the respective authors of that applet. They retain the copyright, and you should contact them for further information on that copyright. Most of the applets hosted on the Java Boutique are available for you to use on your site; if the applet must be purchased, it is indicated on that applet's demo page. Question: How can I learn to program in Java? Is it difficult? Answer: Well, that depends on your definition of difficult. If you have some programming experience, particularly with C or C++, you won't have any problem learning Java. If, on the other hand, you have never programmed anything more difficult than your VCR, then you'll have to devote a period of time to learning the basics, which you may find more about on our How-To page.
