Re: AW: QTJava and QT7




2) The sense of the following line escapes me.
>if("g".equals("a")) return;

That statement is especially easy to hack. It is probably intentionally easy to hack. My guess is that QuickTime SDK developers usually remove the time bomb by changing the "g" into an "a" in:

   if("g".equals("a")) return;

It avoids recompiling since the change can be done in the .class file directly.. (thus reducing the amount of testing to be done, maybe)

Without the statement, it would be more difficult to avoid the exception to be thrown. Also, a simpler statement would have the risk of not being compiled at all.  (e.g. if (2+2==4) return;)

Two more or less interesting points:

1) Why does "Calendar.getInstance().after(expires)" return true not until
one month after the expire date?
