DESCRIPTION
Java Foundation Classes: Swing Reference is the comprehensive guide
to Swing 1.1 and Java 2's Swing package. Written by the programmers
that maintain the Internet's Swing FAQ, this book is based on the
much enhanced, most recent release of Swing.
All documentation in this book is based on the authors' experience
with the Swing source code and their digging under the surface to
make sure what they are saying is correct. This book offers solid
reference material, extensive examples and an introductory tutorial
provide programmers with a quick start and ongoing support as their
daily Swing reference. The authors have not trusted a single
description of the Swing JavaDoc--this book is verified, correct
documentation for the Swing library.
For programmers wondering which methods are unimplemented or
empty, which are synchronized, which throw runtime
exceptions, the JavaDoc won't tell them, but this book will.
Here's what's in the book:
- A complete reference to Swing 1.1 for JDK 1.1 and Java 2
- Package summaries
- Swing FAQs
- Dozens of useful examples
- Class, interface and package inheritance diagrams
- Complete class cross-referencing
- Index includes every class, interface and method
- Page design for fast searching
