CISC370-011 homework #7: Applets and JARs

For this homework, you will turn one Java applications into an applet and another into a double-clickable JAR file. You will also demonstrate your mastery of the Preferences API.

The assignment requirements are as follows:

• Convert your code from Homework #4, EventTest04, into an applet.
  • The applet's main class must be named LanderApplet07.
  • The applet must be contained in a single JAR file whose name is lander07.jar.
  • You must create an HTML page named lander.html which exercises your applet.
• Convert your code from Homework #5, ActionTest05, into an executable JAR file.
  • The JAR file must be named action07.jar.
  • The application's main class must be named ActionTest07.
  • The application must run when double-clicked.
  • The application must 'remember' its current animation, window state, and window size from run to run. (It need not remember the exact state of the animation, just which one was selected.)

This is your chance to apply what you've learned since assignment #4 to clean up your code! You'll be submitting the executables for review, so make sure everything runs.

Hint: Check out the getExtendedState() and setExtendedState() methods of the Frame class.

Due date: The homework is due at the beginning of class on 28 October.

Turn in: (1) listings of all source files for the applet and application; (2) the source for lander07.html; (3) a screen dump of the applet in action; (4) a screen dump of the application in action; and (5) a record of the terminal session in which you create each JAR file.

E-mail: A Zip or tar archive file to grading@bozoid.com. The subject of the e-mail should be "Homework07", and the archive name should be hw07.zip or hw07.tar.gz. The archive file should include (1) all source files for the applet and application; (2) lander07.html; (3) lander07.jar; and (4) action07.jar.

Note: Staple all the pages of your submission together, and make sure you put your name on your homework!
