The Java Class Libraries: Java.Applet, Java.Awt, Java.Beans

As the definitive reference to the Java 1.1.2 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 volume provides comprehensive reference documentation for the development of applets, user interfaces, and Java beans. The information is presented in an easy-to-use, dictionary-like format. The packages covered in Volume 2 are: java.applet, java.awt, java.awt.datatransfer, java.awt.event, java.awt.image, java.awt.peer, and java.beans. 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 20,000 lines of code in over 350 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; and comprehensive descriptions and an example for each member.
