overridde system function

[nos]

Just curious about how I would specify
the location of a system file like this one

public static String getenv(String name) {}

if I wanted to override it in my file
C:\eclipse\workspace\newdraw\MyClass.java

If you are referring to changing the computer's environment variable (like
PATH), you *might* be able to do this with System.setProperty(). Its a
*might* because it depends on what security permissions your code has.
To read about setting security permissions check the Java SDK documentation
on the Policy File Creation and Management Tool.

FYI: System.getEnv is deprecated. Use System.getProperty().

Sorry, that's not it. I was not clear. What I was
thinking of is how to override a method that is
in the SDK. The part I don't understand is that
the SDK method would be in a different directory.
I think for "Applet" I would just do
public class myClass extends Applet() {}
since there is only one "Applet" there is no problem,
but what about "Date" since there are two (maybe more)
"Date"s
java.util.Date and java.sql.Date

Would it be
