Synopsis
While nearly all Java books skim the surface of the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), there are none that explore the AWT in depth. This text provides an overview and explores a number of custom components in detail. These will be useful to Java developers as components in their own right. CD-ROM includes text and components, Java source code, and class libraries. From the Back Cover
“While almost every Java book covers the AWT, none . . . does it so well or provides such good advice on how best to use it.” Dr. Dobbs Journal, March 1997
A comprehensive guide to the Abstract Window Toolkit for JDK 1.1.
Graphic Java 1.1 (Second Edition) has been completely revised to cover all of the AWT features provided by the 1.1 JDK. It provides detailed descriptions of every aspect of the AWT, including:
*Lightweight components.
*Graphics Colors and Fonts.
*Event Handling.
*Image Manipulation Clipboard and data transfer.
*Menus.
*Printing.
*Dialogs.
*AWT Layout Managers.
In addition, Graphic Java 1.1 comes with the Graphic Java Toolkit (GJT)—a set of freely reusable Java packages that extend the functionality of the AWT. The GJT provides over 40 high-level components, ranging from image buttons and scrollers to toolbars and convenience dialogs.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the example code from the book, ready to run on Solaris, Windows 95 and Windows NT along with the JDK 1.1 for those platforms. The complete source code for the GJT for Solaris, Windows 95/NT, and Macintosh is also included for JDK 1.0.2 and JDK 1.1. About the Author
