Abstract: The invention concerns a liquid container for drinks such as a can, party keg or drum, having a peripheral wall (1,13,31) and lids (14,32). A tap (4,15,34) with a closed and opened position is inserted in a hole (27,33) in the wall (1,13,31) or in one of the lids (14,32). The tap extends into the interior of the container and comprises an outer part (6,16,35) which is fixed to the wall or lid and an inner part (5,17,36) which can move within the fixed part and is provided outside the container with a grip (8,26,41). The hole (27) can be located in the wall (1) or lid (14) in a recess (3) in which, when the tap (4,15) is in the closed position, the grip (8,26) attached to the inner part (5,17) of the tap is countersunk.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for mapping a text-oriented user interface to a graphics user interface by automatically altering properties of control elements of a standard Java class library based on changes in the text-oriented user interface so as to dynamically react to changes in the text-oriented user interface to provide an extended Java class library. A graphics user interface corresponding to the text-oriented user interface may then be generated utilizing the extended Java class library so that the graphics user interface automatically reflects the changes in the text-oriented user interface.
