JApplet + API question

[David Eynon]

I know that the basic methods that can be overwritten for class JApplet are
init, and paint. However, the API does not specifically state this, and
JApplet does not describe this right away.. How do i know with other classes
specific methods that operate like this, simply by looking at the API first?

In Java, a class can override ANY of the instance methods of its
superclasses. There's nothing special here to do with JApplet nor will
there be anything in the API for this. This is simply a basic feature of
the Java language.

Not quite: a method declared as final cannot be overridden in a
subclass. Just keeping us all on the same page...
