Hello dear friends!

Question: How do I hide system properties that applets are allowed to read by default?

Answer: There's no way to hide the ten system properties (see below) from applets loaded into a Java-enabled browser. The reason is that the browsers don't consult any external files as part their Java configuration, as a security precaution, including the ~/.hotjava/properties file.

From the appletviewer, you can prevent applets from finding out anything about your system by redefining the property in your ~/.hotjava/properties file. For example, to hide the name of the operating system that you are using, add this line to your ~/.hotjava/properties file:

os.name=null

Ten OS propertis that accessible by applet:
java.version
java.vendor
java.vendor.url
java.class.version
os.name
os.arch
os.version
file.separator
path.separator
line.separator

Question: I want to to have a listener for a String's change event. Is it possible?

Answer: String has no such listener because you can not change a String.
Strictly saying a String can not be changed. Each time when you change a value of an "old" String Java creates a new String and then refers to "old" one.
However you can write a wrapper class which has two methods - setString() and getString(). The body of those two methods could have additional code that notifies about String's "change" event. Something like this:

public void setString (String aString) {
this.aString = aString;
stringValueChanged();
}

The method stringValueChanged() is responsible for notification

Hi!
I'm writting a program for edit images. My problem is how to capture key events like 'ctrl+c' o something like this. I use a JFrame where are the menu options a menu bar and in others JWindows I paint and have a Tool window. The JFrame are the 'father' o this JWindows, of course.
