    Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
    You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.

  • Java hack MacBook Pro

    Hey, I heard about this java hack on the news and want to know if there's anything I should worry about? I do also use Firefox and if I disable java it won't affect web searching? Thanks.

    If you disable the Java plugin in any web browser you use, then as long as you don't download and run any Java applets without good evidence of their security you should be fine. Java has nothing to do with web searching and it's used at all on most web sites, so there's a good chance you'll never notice that you turned it off.
    Regards.

  • The future of java and what is the most necessary skill to learn

    hi, friends,
    This is a serious question, so please answer seriously.
    1. The future of java
    Are there any future for java? What I mean are: are there any jobs for java developer in the future? are there any chances for new java company to survive?
    2. What is the most needed skill in so many java technology?
    There are so many sections in java technology. so what is the most needed one for one to find a job? what is the most promising section for one to build a company.
    Thank your very much!

    It's a lousy question really.
    1) There are very few companies you'd call a 'java company'. There are companies that use java, but they also by and large use C++, DBMS systems, and a whole host of other technologies. If java died, they'd switch to whatever technology killed it. Any decent programmer is flexible enough to learn a new language in a matter of weeks. It's the ability to work with the theory behind the code rather than the knowledge of syntax that's important.
    2) It depends entirely on what you're doing. Working with a company where databases are key? Then you need Oracle, or SQL. Working with web technology? Perl, JSP, PHP, stuff like that is what you want. Working in high performance application design? You need C++. Graphics? Take a look at OpenGL or Java3d.
    The most promising section to build a company? If there was a straight answer to that 1000 companies would have sprung up already and filled the niche.
    Basically, if you want a successful career in programming, don't become a java programmer, become a programmer full stop. If you think you'll be working with java when you retire in 40-odd years you're mistaken. You need to grasp the basic concepts of application and algorithm design, and be quick to learn new technologies and evaluate them against what exists already.
    It can take 3 years to go from complete newbie to fluent in a single programming language. It can then take less than 3 days to become fluent in another.

  • Why do we need downcasting in Java? What is the use of it?

    Why do we need downcasting in Java? What is the use of it?

    here's an example of a valid downcast.
    class Dog {}
    class Dogma extends Dog {}
    class Dogmatic extends Dog {}
    Dog dogwood = new Dogma(); // a Dogma object is upcast to a Dog
    Dogma bush = (Dogma) dogwood; // a Dogma object is downcast from a Dog
    You cannot upcast a Dogmatic to a Dog and then downcast it to a Dogma. You also cannot downcast a Dog to a Dogma. In the working example, above, the dogwood references a Dogma, so you can downcast the Dogma.
    and one more example
    If you have a class hierarchy where class B extends class A (B is a specialization of A) you can use B in the place of A since B supports all the operations that B does. This is called polymorphism.
    When you use an object of type B in place of A you actually do a up-cast, meaning you make the object of type B look like an object of type A (a less specific class type).
    What you are asking about is down-casting which is making an object be of a more specific type, i.e. transforming an object of type A to type B. Is is only allowed if the object was actually created as a type B.
    This is allowed (line 2 is a down-cast):
    A a = new B();
    B b = (B)a;

  • I am trying to use screens and it keeps telling me it cannot detect Java even though I have installed and updated Java?  What might be the problem?

    I am trying to use "screenr" and it keeps telling me it cannot detect Java even though I have downloaded and updated Java?  What is going on or what might I do to correct this?
    Thanks

    Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
    No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

  • I'm new to Java. Whats the easiest program to make games?

    I'm a moderately experience flash actionscript 3 developer, so i know how to program.
    I just want to know a developers kit that is good for making simple 2d games. Are there kits, that help you with the graphics stuff, like flash does? Because i suppose in Java you have to load all the sprites etc mannually?
    So i'm looking for an easy developer's kit for Java games.

    omniscient wrote:
    game maker is very limited. I want to use the java language.Okay but why do you want to use java? What do you think it offers you over something like GameMaker (especially if you're relying on prebuilt libraries)? If we know your actual goals (what kind of game do you want to make? How do you plan to get started? How much programming do you already know?), we can better help you.
    I'll check the tutorial.Always a good start. If you're unfamiliar with java in general, I wouldn't touch anything GUI-related until you master the [basic tutorials|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html] first.
    But I don't understand why you're so negative. What's wrong with wanting to use a kit thats easy- to use, and has all the basic stuff ready for you?I didn't mean to come off as negative. The problem with using a "kit" is that it gets in the way of actually learning how to program. I'd recommend getting a really basic game going on your own (think pong), and then worry about adding on to it using third party libraries. Learning how to do the basics (which really aren't that hard to start) will give you a better idea of what you need: physics engine? More accurate collision detection? Special effects? Smoother animation? Artificial intelligence? The list is endless, and I doubt you'll find all of it in one prebuilt kit. What fun would that be anyway!
    Ofcourse i know i dont ahve to draw pixel per pixel, i was exaggerating.Ok phew, you had me worried for a second.
    All this being said, I love seeing what other people come up with. Keep us posted on your progress, and feel free to ask questions as you go along.

  • Jave script to enable and disable items

    Can any one tell me some sites that has used java script to enable and disable items.
    My target is to enable/disable an LOV and a text area when I press a button.

    You could check this example out.
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:65:54438924816002::NO:RP
    Set the drop-down items to -1 to disable the text areas and any other value to enable them.

  • O. Portal XML util. Vs. O. Java XMLutil., whats the difference?????

    O. Portal XML util. Vs. O. Java XMLutil., whats the difference?????
    OK, in the O. Portal doc. there is this link:
    http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/dev.102/a83730/toc.htm
    that talks about
    oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1
    And then there is the O. Java XML utils. Talked about in:
    http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/dev.102/a86030/adx17paj.htm#1000433
    I guess my questions are:
    1) Are there TRULY to different O. XML utils. that do the XSLT transformation, one being oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1, and the other being the O. Java XML utils????
    2) When would you want to use the O..Portal XML (oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1,) stuff for XLST???? Is the oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1 stuff just as robust as O. Java XML utils???
    3) When would you want to use the O..Java XML ( O. Java XML utils. ) stuff???? For XSLT???
    THANKS!!!
    null

    Both use the same Oracle core XML Developer's Kit components for XML parsing and XSLT transformation.

    I dont want you to be on that list . Here goes my explanation..
    A class is well defined with members and functions
    An abstract class is not defined well as compared to a full fledged class (talking more generically)
    An interface is more abstract.
    I was asking the author who has posted this question to be like a class(very clear)
    and not either as an abstract class or an interface
    Hope i have made it clear..Not in the slightest. This has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the question asked. Not to mention that classes are classes, and all equal in the eyes of the compiler, be they abstract, concrete or interfaces. It's difficult to see what your point is, to be honest, but I suspect it wouldn't be worth seeing anyway

    Depends on whether your computer has actually been "hacked", if your online account(s) have been "hacked", and what "hacked" actually means in your case.
    Why don't you start by explaining what symptoms you are seeing that lead you to believe you have been hacked...
