Im doing some work with .pem certificates and a guide im following is telling me i need to make my PEM into a KeyStore. only problem is the way the guide tells me to do it is windows only and im on mac osx. Ive searched all over the net and have not been able to find any other tutorials or information on creating "keystores" any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

hey, im looking to get into JSF and am about to buy a domain to put them on. i was wondering if to use JSF you need some kind of special feature that has to be installed or if you can just upload them onto any host?

im trying to make a line that i drew uysing Graphics2D to rotate towards a specified x/y (and would be rotating around in a circular fashion). from what i know of rotation i would do something like
g2d.rotate(Math.PI/7.0);
but how can i make it so that the line point in the direction of a specified x/y that i give it?

im trying to do some light weight 3d work (such as that at here ) in a java application. what do you think would be the best direction for me to og in to get this done? i was thinking maybe checking out the jmonkey game engine but after seeing what that website can do im thinking there might be a better way?

aaah. that seems like a way to go about it, i saw a show once on arcamedises where they talked about how he would use triangles and such to measure circles. but that all seems out of my grasp of math. there isnt any function that could help me? i was looking through the api and saw this clip function in Graphics2d would that have any relevence?

i have this app where it draws a line from an object to where your mouse is but i want to make it so that the line can only be so long, how could i do this?

im trying to make a kaleidoscope effect, but i cant figure out how to go about it. has anyone tried to do something like this befor? i was thinking that what i could do is make a a long image and then rotate and duplicate it around, but i was hearing that kaleidoscopes use triangles and mirrors this all is starting to sound complicated.

is this giving me the current time in milliseconds? im trying to get something like 11:20pm. there are 3,600,000 milliseconds in an hour and right now my clock says 11:20 which would mean this code should be giving me 40,000,000 but it is giving me a number much bigger then that.

is there a way to get the current time that the computer my app is running on says? i tried looking into Date but it wouldnt just simply give me the time.

i want to get a random number from between 100 and 200, what is the best way of doing this?

upon further research i found that JMF supports up to flash2. how would one go about displaying a flash2 video with JMF? the animation im trying to display is very simple and im pretty sure flash2 could handle it.

im trying to work with media in java and im having a problem installing quicktime for java. everywhere i look it tells me that when im installing quicktime to get into custom install and select quicktime for java or it wont be installed, now this is where im having my problem because everytime i try to install quicktime it never gives me any options for custom install....anyone have any knowledge on this?

im working on a 2d game and i want to display a .swf movie behind my game. and yes ive googled but havent come up with anything useful.

hey, i was wondering if anyone knew of any ways of embedding flash within a java app?

ok im having another problem with that piece of code. my images are saved with names like bgTesti_00001.png and my code above would only make bgTesti_1.png (already fixed underscore problem).

what would one do to shift the 1 over 4 spots?
thanks.
