Java Desktop Integration Components
The Java Desktop Integration Components (JDIC) project provides components which give Java applications the same access to operating system services as native applications. For example, a Java application running on one user's desktop can open a web page using that user's default web browser (e.g. Firefox), but the same Java application running on a different user's desktop would open the page in Opera (the second user's default browser). Initially the project supports features such as embedding the native HTML browser, programmatically opening the native mail client, using registered file-type viewers, and packaging JNLP applications as RPM, SVR4, and MSI installer packages. As a bonus, an SDK for developing platform-independent screensavers is included. Most of the features provided by JDIC were incorporated into the JDK starting with version 1.6. As a result, the development of the project has come to an end. Components The cross-platform JDIC package, which files should ...

People Of Australia
Australians, colloquially known as Aussies, are the citizens, nationals and individuals associated with the country of Australia. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or ethno-cultural. For most Australians, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being Australian. Australian law does not provide for a racial or ethnic component of nationality, instead relying on citizenship as a legal status. Since the postwar period, Australia has pursued an official policy of multiculturalism and has the world's eighth-largest immigrant population, with immigrants accounting for 30 percent of the population in 2019. Between European colonisation in 1788 and the Second World War, the vast majority of settlers and immigrants came from the British Isles (principally England, Ireland and Scotland), although there was significant immigration from China and Germany during the 19th century. Many early settlements were initially pe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Japanese Language Education
Japanese language education is available in Japan and worldwide. Many major universities throughout the world provide Japanese language courses, and a number of secondary and even primary schools worldwide offer courses in the language. History Prior to World War II; in 1940, only 65 Americans not of Japanese descent were able to read, write and understand the language. International interest in the Japanese language dates from the 19th century but has become more prevalent following Japan's economic bubble of the 1980s and the global popularity of Japanese popular culture (such as anime and video games) since the 1990s. As of 2015, more than 3.6 million people studied the language worldwide, primarily in East and Southeast Asia. Nearly one million Chinese, 745,000 Indonesians, 556,000 South Koreans and 357,000 Australians studied Japanese in lower and higher educational institutions. Between 2012 and 2015, considerable growth of learners originated in Australia (20.5%), Thaila ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
