This site originally was a large Java repository where individuals traded ideas on Java and examples of Java programming. One of its early benefits was the volume of Java source code that was available to the many people learning Java. It is now an all-around Java resource with Java references, free Java downloads, areas where you can ask questions to Java experts, discussion groups on Java, a glossary of Java-related terminology, upcoming Java-related events, directories for specialized industry topics and hundreds of other Java resources. www.jars.com Another EarthWeb Web site is JARS originally called the Java Applet Rating Service. The JARS site calls itself the #1 Java Review Service. This site originally was a large Java repository for applets. Its benefit was that it rated every applet registered at the site as top 1%, top 5% and top 25%, so you could immediately view the best applets on the Web. Early in the development of the Java language, having your applet rated here was a great way to demonstrate your Java programming abilities. JARS is now another all-around resource for Java programmers. B.7 Multimedia java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf This is the Java Media Framework home page on the Java Web site.
