                prevents a property value from changing.JARs - "zip" 
                compressed files that hold classes in a compact form.CLASSPATH 
                - how classes can find other classes and packages. Applet Directories

                - automatic docmentation of packages and classes.Coding 
                Conventions - suggested coding conventions to maintain a consistent
