EHM-0641 Rico:
what is that java thing u guys talk about?

EHM-1388 Tiberiu:
Java is an object-oriented programming language pretty similar to C++, but much safer for executing code over a network (i.e Internet)...
The navigation menu on the IVAO HQ website is written in Java, but WinXP does not have it implemented (unlike Win98 for example)... so you need to download and install a small executable (Msjavx86.exe, as I said before)

BTW, Willem, I'm just curious... why don't you like Java?

EHM-1388 Tiberiu:
Oh, here is a more formal and complete definition ;D


--- Quote ---
A network-oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems that is specifically designed for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet and immediately run without fear of viruses or other harm to our computer or files. Using small Java programs (called Applets), Web pages can include functions such as animations, calculators, and other fancy tricks. We can expect to see a huge variety of features added to the Web using Java, since you can write a Java program to do almost anything a regular computer program can do, and then include that Java program in a Web page.
