Steal Our Code

Steal Our Code is designed for the "hacker" community: programmers that wish to learn about new or interesting features of the Java Development Kit (JDK) directly from downloadable source code. Where appropriate, we've provided links that allow you to test out each example, either as a Java Web Start application or an executable JAR file. If you would like more information on the topic, supporting documentation is listed as well.

The source code in these examples is distributed under the BSD license. You are free to use this source code for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, as long as you indemnify the authors and Sun Microsystems, Inc., from any consequences of its use. You are also free to use this source code as a springboard for your own open-source projects. See the BSD license for official information.

If you use this code in any commercial product or documentation, we request (although we do not mandate) that you give public credit to the author and contributor.
