a few questions

pls tell me if there is a way that i could make an image in an applet (or in some container) apper just partially and make the image "move" as the mouse moves? cause i can't think of any way of doing that.

What do you mean by opening a file? Are you thinking of launching an editor or the default editor for the file as a seperate process? Or are you wanting to "open" it within your app?

i wanna edit a google earth kml file in the java gui and then i would like to open it with google earth when the user clicks on a button. but i don't think that's possible. at least i don't know any way of doing that..

You would have to understand the Google Earth API. Does it accept a kml file as a command line argument? If so then you can do it. Otherwise, I don't think you can.

supposing that it does (couldn't find this info anywhere, yet) how do i do that?

Check out the Process API. A simple example is below:Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String.format("%1$s %2$s", application, file.getPath()));
