This stuff is so cool...
But, as usual, I have more questions:
1. Where can I find the language spec? Am I the only one that
is wishing for an old-fashioned documentation set (ie, a *decent*
PS book-like version)?
2. The on-line tutorial shows "System.out.println()" and explains that
"System" is the class. There was no import statement, so where
did this class come from? And what exactly is "out"? Is it
a subobject of System?
Where are the docs on System? I cannot seem to find any.
3. If "java.util" is a package, what is the "java" prefix telling me?
4. I'm assuming every object has a fully qualified name:
pkg.class.object[.method|.variable]
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong? The docs say "package
names are period-separated words"... this is ambiguous.
5. I don't see parameterized types? Does Java have this feature?
6. How can one embed the java interpreter into a C/C++ pgm a la tcl?
If this is possible, can you have multiple instances of the interpreter?
7. How is an applet auto-started (ie, started after it is downloaded)?
8. How can an applet-writer *selectively* allow users to use their applets?
9. I noticed the disassembler "javap" is mentioned. How can I prevent
users from reverse-compiling my applications and applets?
Thanks,
Frank G.
