The Java Class Library: Second Edition, Volume 1

 

by Patrick Chan, Rosanna Lee, and Douglas Kramer
This definitive reference to the Java 1.1 class libraries from the creators of the Java technology at Sun Microsystems is an essential resource for both novice and experienced Java programmers. The information is presented in an easy-to-use, dictionary-like format, filling out 2050 pages. The packages covered in this book are:
  • java.io
  • java.net
  • java.lang
  • java.text
  • java.lang.reflect
  • java.util
  • java.math
  • java.util.zip
The extensive class and member descriptions contain details crucial for developing robust and professional applets and applications. Each description is supplemented by an example that demonstrates the class or member in a relevant context. The 24,000 lines of code in over 600 examples facilitate learning-by-example and provide useful code fragments for your projects. 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
  • comprehensive descriptions and an example for each member
A 1.2 Supplement is available which provides what's new in JDK 1.2 for the packages in this volume.
