Présentation par l'éditeur
Due for release in quarter 4 of 2001, version 1.4 of the
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, is set to be the biggest
upgrade to the functionality of the basic Java platform
since the release of Java 2 over two years ago. The latest
version, until recently known by the codename Merlin,
represents a true commitment by Sun and the Java community
to turn Java into a viable client platform, after several
years of concentrating on the server.
Early Adopter J2SE 1.4 presents assesses the
significance of the changes to the Java 2 platform that
Merlin introduces. We will be looking at functions that
have been added or modified, and see how they impact on the
Java application developer's life. Throughout this book, we
will use the public beta version of the J2SE 1.4 SDK to
demonstrate the platform's new capabilities.
This book covers:
- Installation and working with the J2SE 1.4 public
beta
- The new I/O framework
- Improvements for client and GUI applications including
JNLP
- Java's new built-in XML capabilities
- New utility functions including preferences and regular
expressions
- Additional features to the Java language, such as
assertions
- A look to the additional features in the future of the
Java 2 platform
