I want to do application development in java... I dont
want to use applet... The only difference between an app and an applet is one extends Applet, the other does not and implememts a "main" method. You can even have an applet with is also an application, by:
public class UntestedFun {
    public static void main( String argv[] ) {
        Applet myApplet = //...
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
         frame.getContentPane().add( myApplet );
         frame.pack(); // Or frame.setSize( x, y );
         frame.show();
I want to draw and do image processing..see [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html]Graphics2D, [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageIO.html]ImageIO and [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Image.html[/url]Image.
