This is one big book--the heaviest in our Java library! But it's a quick and easy guide to the class libraries that constitute the Java programmer's fundamental resource. The first section gives an overview of the various Java packages and descriptions of the classes included in each. The second section alphabetically lists the Java class libraries and includes a chapter on each class. The package name is listed with each class; however, it is the classes rather than the packages that are listed alphabetically. This is very helpful if you're not sure what package contains the class you're searching for. You'll find a pictorial class hierarchy and examples and descriptions for every member of the class. The many examples are helpful and, although the book does not include a CD-ROM with the example code, you can access most of the examples online. The Java Class Libraries, An Annotated Reference, is decidedly not a Java tutorial, but if you already know Java and are facing some serious programming tasks, you'll benefit from having this solid guide at your elbow.
