Does anybody know of any good sites that have Java applications?

I'm looking for a particular one that I saw in a magazine a while back - but can't remember what the flippin' thing is called.
I've tried Google-searching, but not knowing the name of the thing is a big hinderance - so what I really need is some sites that have a big range of applications that I can look through.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted
Thanks
Carlos

It's a mini planetarium program - well - more of an electronic planisphere really.

You put in your location, it uses the time and date from the phone, then generates a real-time image of what the sky looks like - what stars are where etc.
(assuming it's dark, and isn't cloudy - LOL)

Found this ...

http://www.upto.org/microsky/microskyManual.html

... but it also requires internet access. It's free though.

or this ...

http://www.piecafe.co.uk/solun/usolun.htm

... which doesn't seem to require internet access.

Google is your friend!

Wow! - thanks Sancheez.

How come neither of those showed up when I Googled? - never mind.

The first one (Microsky) actually looks a bit better than the one I was originally looking for - and Solun looks like a good basic one.

I'll probably use both - thanks again!
