Enable copy and paste functionality between Swing's JTables and Excel Update Link / Bad Link? 
JTables and Excel charts are commonly used to display data in a grid or table. Often, the data that the user wishes to enter into a JTable already exists in Excel spreadsheets. The Excel format is used for export-import functionality by software other than Excel. Because of this, it is important that Java software also provide common clipboard functionality, like copy and paste, between JTables and Excel. This article shows how to enable Java programs to copy data from JTables into Excel using the system clipboard. Using the adapter class presented in this Java Tip, the ability to copy and paste information to and from your JTables and Excel can be added with only one line of code.

Instruction on loading bitmap files in a Java app Update Link / Bad Link? 
A step-by-step guide to loading bitmap files in a Java application: Currently, only GIF and JPEG images are supported by the standard getImage() method. While Java routines exist for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format images, we don't know of any reader existing for Microsoft Windows bitmap images. This tip, authored by Jeff West, provides code for loading Windows bitmap images.

Learn how to implement the Command pattern in Java Update Link / Bad Link? 
Sometimes it's necessary to issue requests to objects without knowing anything about the operation being requested or the receiver of the request. In procedural languages, this type of communication is accomplished via a callback: a function that is registered somewhere to be called at a later point. Commands are the object-oriented equivalent of callbacks and encapsulate the callback function. In this tip, Bala Paranj demonstrates how to make use of the Command pattern in Java.

This tip shows you how to implement your own models to remove unneeded listeners automatically, thus preventing memory leaks. A simple application is included to demonstrate the problem and solution.

It's great that Java applets and browsers are so tightly integrated, but what if you want to have your Java application display a URL? There's no API call in any Java package that can help you with that... The class I have written, called BrowserControl takes the above into account and will work for both Windows and Unix platforms.

Programming user-friendly double clicks Update Link / Bad Link? 
What to do when the default handling of a double-click event isn't good enough: Double-click mouse events are "synthetic." They are really a fiction created by the system/application. The basic idea is that if you click a mouse button twice in succession in the same location fast enough then a double-click event will be created... Unfortunately, the "normal" AWT behavior for double-click handling seems to be hard-coded into the Java AWT implementation. The AWT definitions for "same location" and "fast enough" are also not very user friendly for folks who are a bit slow on mouse buttons or for people who have shaky hands...

Resize applets within browser frames Update Link / Bad Link? 
Many n-tier architectures deploy applets as a GUI frontend for applications. Frequently, the browser then acts as the applet's frame. This helps prevent the user from assuming that the browser window is a separate application and accidentally closing it. The problem with this approach is that the applet does not resize itself as the user resizes the browser frame. This article presents a technique to enable dynamic resizing of applets embedded within browser frames. The approach is simple and uses JavaScript-to-Java communication.

Use dynamic messaging in Java Update Link / Bad Link? 
Developers in a variety of dynamic languages (such as SmallTalk and Objective C) have enjoyed the ability to send dynamic methods to objects at runtime. Unlike Java, these languages permit a method to be invoked that doesn't actually exist, with the resulting error trapped in a doesNotUnderstand method. Dynamic messaging is not possible in Java source code, as all methods are type-checked by the compiler. This article explains how dynamic messaging can be easily used and how it can be used to implement the doesNotUnderstand method.

In order to achieve the conflicting goals of decoupling and containment, constants that are usually defined in a class can alternatively be defined in a nested interface. Any client class that makes substantial use of the constants is free to implement the nested interface and use the constants more conveniently by not prefixing them with the class name. This design pattern can be augmented with nested classes to provide type safety for parameters constants.

Recycle broken objects in resource pools Update Link / Bad Link? 
Many distributed (and some local) Java systems use resource pooling to improve performance. Resource pools may also be used when object resources are scarce and objects need to be shared between a number of clients.

Using recyclers can improve the longevity and performance of Java server systems, for example, where robustness is a key design issue.
