Java programmers look inside!

well you can go this

getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("resources/legend.png")));


and i guess you never used any of the real programming languages like 10-15 years ago when displaying JPG took close to 2000 lines.

now they make it too easy for newbies they dont appriciate how easy they have it.

Firstly,no, thank God for that! At this time in computing history, I don't even care about the 2000 lines from 10-15 years ago. It just doesn't contribute to the languages of today's computing.

Secondly, I do appreciate the fact that I don't have to write 2000 lines of code, but that doesn't stop me from not accecpting (or dislike) the 9 lines of code. i.e. Me appreciating something doesn't mean I can't request a further improvement. That's how technology improves over time, by people like us demanding more.

Thats how java is. If you want to do this stuff with less code, choose a different language, that or find some java libraries that will make it easier.

and the java virtual machine is so slowwwwwww
oh well.. it's easy to run on different OS..

Lol, haven't looked at Java since 1995?

Great to see decade old myths and generalizations are alive and well.

this is a typical reply of someone who has not done any research on it.

java is faster than gcc and definately anything microsoft comes up with.

the only faster compiler is Intel C optimized.

as we all know memory is cheap now and as memory will get faster the faster will Java get.
