The Java Class Libraries

The Java Class Libraries: Second Edition, Volume 2

 

by Patrick Chan and Rosanna Lee
As the definitive reference to the Java 1.1 version class libraries from the creators of the Java technology at Sun, this book is an essential resource for both beginner and experienced Java programmers. This example-driven, annotated references to the Java class libraries contains details crucial for developing robust and professional applets and applications. The 20,000 lines of code in over 350 examples facilitate learning-by-example and provide useful code fragments for your projects.

This 1682 page volume provides comprehensive reference documentation for the development of applets, user interfaces, and JavaBeans components. The packages covered in this volume:

  • java.applet
  • java.awt
  • java.awt.datatransfer
  • java.awt.event
  • java.awt.image
  • java.awt.peer
  • java.beans

The information is presented in an easy-to-use, dictionary-like format. Each class description includes: a class hierarchy diagram showing its connection to related classes; a detailed overview describing its purpose and key concepts; a convenient member summary that briefly describes each member and arranges the members into related groups; an example demonstrating the class in a "real-world" context; and comprehensive descriptions and an example for each member.

Patrick Chan was one of the founding members and lead developers of the original Java project at Sun. He is now owner of Xeo Interactive, a design firm specializing in Java-based multimedia and web interfaces. Rosanna Lee is a Senior Staff Engineer at Java Software, Sun Microsystems, Inc. She is one of the principal designers and developers of Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and X/Open Federated Naming (XFN).
