I think the operative terms here are 'concise' and 'management'. Short sentences, words of one syllable, that sort of thing. Software Zen: delete this;

As the thread has mentioned, you want to Obfuscate your code. I researched this topic several month ago, and I discovered that it is quite reliable. Different vendors will increase the level of obfuscation; thus, making it that much harder to decompile the code into something useful (or worth taking). My search led me to investigate what would you do if you legitimately needed to recover code which you were entitled to, but you had lost your code. Restoring the code is quite expensive and difficult. Even on the simplest obfuscators, simple decompilation and recompilation fails ... there is not enough space to describe what all can be done. Nonetheless, language rules are far stricter than the byte code. Obfuscation will protect intellectual property most of the time ... but there are determined people out there that don't value their time at all and may take the time to decompile ... and rebuild the app. After a time analysis, I feel confident by saying that they usually could've coded the app in about the same time it took fix the decompiled obfuscated code. Unfortunately, obfuscation does not protect you from hardcoded values and such, nor smaller identifiable code block that may shed light or even reveal how a particular task was accomplished. During my research I did find vendors that could even protect you in these areas ... but I couldn't dream of affording their proud products. Just my 2 cents ... hope this is helpful to someone if not interesting. It is worth protecting your work always, even simple measures are better than none. :cool: Thanks, ElGatoRojo13

ahhh I ment to change the 1 to a 2! :(

So why don't you have to change the type of the accessor functions if you change the type of the variable? I used to get high on life until I realized that life was cut with morons - Unknown

For .NET apps there are a bunch of performance counters for memory usage and how long the app is spending in garbage collection etc. - there is some info here[^] '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

I like Dr Dobb's Journal, have been a subscriber of them for over 8 years. C/C++ User Journal is another one that rocks. Visual Studio Magazine is another really good one. I do sometimes get my hands on an ACM. I think it does not hurt to have several different magazines on hand if one can afford it. I know every time my Dr. Dobb's is up for renewal, they cut me a good deal. CMP publishing, who does Dr Dobb's, also does Software Developer Magazine and I've glanced at that magazine and it looks as if it is also another very worthy magazine to have. Have a great day, Paul

Hy Use a DefaultTableModel. with this Model you can make changes. Then put the DefaultTableModel int the JTabel Constructor. and finish. Now you can work on the Model like every other array and it will change on the gui. See you

I believe it is a 3D Desktop. You can use it inplace of like GNOME on your Linux or UNIX O/S. I just thought it looked kind of cool becuase they have everything in 3D. Here are a few more links for those that would like to check it out. http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/lookingglass/ http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/ There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We shouldn't assume something's debugged just because everyone in the whole world has access to the source code.

Yeah, I think it's limited to 16 bit OS/2 command line apps, or something (not OS/2 Warp, which was after IBM and MS split apart) When Microsoft and IBM fell out over OS/2 they split in two directions IBM turned it into OS/2 Warp MS turned it into Windows NT, which in turn became Win2k, XP, etc So both have a common ancestor -- Help me!

I don´t tried this in real. But if you put a DefaultTableModel behinde the Jtabel. Than you can modify the Model and get a [][] of strings ( I think), this might help.

Well the first part is up to you. I have seen all the die hard XP-theme haters I've worked with convert after giving a real try, you are obviously different. As to the second. it certainly wasn't done on a marketing whim. There is loads of information on the Microsoft Research site about inductive UIs if you want to learn more, and there was a lot of information going about at the time of its release.
