by Patrick Chan, Rosanna Lee and Douglas Kramer
|
This definitive reference to the Java Class Libraries, from the
creators of the Java technology at Sun Microsystems, is an essential
resource for both novice and experienced Java programmers. This
supplement complements The Java Class Libraries Second Edition,
Volume 1 with documentation for new features in
JDK 1.2.
This 1000 page supplement contains descriptions of the new packages and classes
introduced in JDK 1.2
in the same style as The Java Class Libraries Second Edition, Volume 1.
This supplement also provides details on how the classes and methods have
changed from JDK 1.1. Together,
this supplement and The Java Class Libraries Second Edition, Volume 1
provide a complete reference to the following packages:
- java.io
- java.lang
- java.lang.ref
- java.lang.reflect
- java.math
- java.net
- java.text
- java.util
- java.util.jar
- java.util.zip
The extensive class and member descriptions contain details crucial
for developing robust and professional applets and applications. Each
description is accompanied by an example that demonstrates the class
or member in a relevant context. Numerous examples facilitate
learning-by-example and provide useful code for your projects. 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
- comprehensive descriptions and an example for each member
