Again not about Java

Today I offer you to watch one film for free.  - remake of  "Star Wars" which is filmed by funs and despite to low budget ($20000) and limited number of participants (~50) this film become a discovery of the week for me.  Official film's premiere was 16 April!

"Revelations" is a non-profit Star Wars fan film that was shot within the Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC Metro Area. "Revelations" is made possible through a combined effort of artists, fans and the local film industry. Everyone who has worked on "Revelations" is a volunteer. No one is paid to make this film. Panic Struck Productions set out to produce their first independent film with a very small budget and the result is "Revelations"

Three years ago Shane Felux decided to film remake of Star Wars together with another fans and result is 45 minutes of real Star Wars film, with good computer graphics and professional actors. Two years those people (look at the crew here) spent for this film and worked for free. You can download this film for free and it is not piracy, simply Lucas does not let to film commercial remakes, but non commercial...

You need good Internet connection to download the film (242 Mb) . You can also get ISO files for DVD with the film and materials on how film was created. You can visit original site here...

Probably (as happened with me) the original site will be too slow. So, please use a mirror in Sweden, in Umeå University:

I actually enjoyed very much watching one Star Wars film more before official premiere of last Star Wars film in May

I wish you the same!

regards,
Alexandre

Java: Packages - Defining

  Click here to read full story

Reasons for using packages

• To allow classes to be combined in a single ".jar" file.
• To control the namespace.
• To limit the scope of names.

Package declarations

package packagetest;
class ClassA {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ClassB.greet();
    }
}

package packagetest;
class ClassB {
    static void greet() {
        System.out.println("Hi");
    }
}

Compiling and running packages from a command line

   javac packagetest/ClassB.java
   javac packagetest/ClassA.java

   java packagetest.ClassA

   java packagetest/ClassA

In windows the "/" can be replaced by the "" in the javac command, but not in the java command. Generally use a forward slash ("/") because it is used more commonly than the backslash in other places as well.
