I'm trying to play an audio clip by using Applet's newAudioClip()
method. That method takes a URL. The .wav file is located in a jar file
(the only jar file). For example:
if myJar.jar is the only jar file

if I have an Integer object as a key in a HashMap, and I create that Integer
from an int, use that to put() a String as value in the HashMap, can I later
create a new Integer object, from the same int value, and use this latter
Integer object to get() the value of that String I ...

I have been able to do it using the Applet.newAudioClip(URL)

sound packages?

I need an ordered sequence, so I extended LinkedList<T>.  Since I'm
implementing an ordered collection, its elements must implement
Comparable<T>.  I came up with the following implementation, which
seems to work, but I cannot figure out how to avoid the unchecked cast

Was just hoping someone could shed a bit of light on how to approach
this assignment.  It would seem we have to determine the value of a in
order to determine how many times the method m() is called, but there
doesn't seem to be enough information to determine a's value.  Any tips

I am writing a very simple programs which displays a different coloured
target depending on what colour has been selected (using a combo box).

RedTarget and YellowTarget which all extend Target.
