Getting information about Jar file from Applet

Thread view:

Is it possible to read information about the JAR file my applet was
loaded from?

Specifically, I would like to be able to read the timestamp of the JAR
file my applet was loaded from.

Cheers,
Eric

You can use Applet.getCodeBase. In a pinch, just pass the jar url as
a parameter, or timestamp the source code.
