Java News

On our SUN workstations, ect-sun.ecst.csuchico.edu (tiglon.ecst.csuchico.edu: IP 132.241.6.18), we are currently running Java 1.3 at /usr/java. Under /usr there are also versions of java1.1 and java1.2, make sure to set your PATH and CLASSPATH accordingly if you do not want the default of java 1.3.
On the old suns (expert) things (BDK, SWING, etc) are still under /opt/java. See here for more local info.

  • An ending to this page 
    There are three engineers in a car: an electrical engineer, a chemical
engineer, and a Microsoft engineer.  Suddenly the car just stops by
the side of the road, and the three engineers look at each other
wondering what could be wrong.
                        
The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the
car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred.  The
chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars suggests that maybe the
fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.
 
Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes
up with a suggestion.  "Why don't we close all the windows, get out,
get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it'll work!?"
