Errata

To thank you for your trouble, I'll give you credit on this page. But please, before you send in an error report, check the list below to make sure that the error hasn't already been reported.

You can use JAR files to package many java class files or other resource files (graphics or sounds, for example) into one big file, with the extension ".jar" on the end. Most current browsers support JAR files; and there are several reasons to use them, including:
