Just toss it out. Neither Netbeans nor Eclipse
costs any more than the bytes need to download them.
And anything MS based is not truly 'Java compatible'
(There was a bit of a thing where Sun sued MS over
their non-compliant runtime - and won!)
I need to get rid of this maximize box in the corner of my AWT
appliation window, any suggestions would be appreciated.
frame.setResizable(false)
// or, more drastic
frame.setUndecorated(true);
As a general point though, I think someone who
is learning will have better luck with Swing,
if only for the fact that so many who used AWT
in the past have forgotten the details, and cannot
adequately help with AWT problems.
(And just quickly on your hunt for books without
applets. I regard any Java book that shows a tendency
towards applets to be *very* suspect, and recommend
avoiding them at any cost.)
