This book is a desktop Java™ quick reference, designed to sitfaithfully by your keyboard while you program Part I of thebook is a fast-paced, "no-fluff" introduction to the Java

programming language and the core APIs of the Java platform.Part II is a quick reference section that succinctly details mostclasses and interfaces of those core APIs The book covers Java1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 5.0

The fifth edition of this book covers Java 5.0 As its incrementedversion number attests, this new version of Java has a lot ofnew features The three most significant new language featuresare generic types, enumerated types, and annotations, whichare covered in a new chapter of their own Experienced Javaprogrammers who just want to learn about these new featurescan jump straight to Chapter 4

The new package java.util.concurrent includes

hierarchy marks these packages as very important, they arenot commonly used Annotation examples are provided in

Chapter 4, and a simple instrumentation and managementexample is found in Chapter 5

New packages have been added to the javax.xml

validation with schemas javax.xml.xpath supports theXPath query language And javax.xml.namespace providessimple support for XML namespaces Validation and XPathexamples are in Chapter 5

In a mostly futile attempt to make room for this new material,I've had to make some cuts I've removed coverage of the

packages java.beans, java.beans.beancontext,

reference JavaBeans standards have not caught on in core JavaAPIs and now appear to be relevant only for Swing and relatedgraphical APIs As such, they are no longer relevant in this

book The java.security.acl package has been deprecatedsince Java 1.2 and I've taken this opportunity to remove it And

subset of readers

Along with removing coverage of java.beans from the quickreference section, I've also cut the chapter on JavaBeans fromPart I of this book The material on JavaBeans naming

conventions from that chapter remains useful, however, and hasbeen moved into Chapter 7

The first eight chapters of this book document the Java

language, the Java platform, and the Java development toolsthat are supplied with Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK) Thefirst five chapters are essential; the next three cover topics ofinterest to some, but not all, Java programmers

Chapter 1: Introduction

This chapter is an overview of the Java language and theJava platform that explains the important features and

benefits of Java It concludes with an example Java

program and walks the new Java programmer through itline by line

Chapter 2: Java Syntax from the Ground Up

This chapter explains the details of the Java programminglanguage, including some of the Java 5.0 language changes

It is a long and detailed chapter that does not assume

substantial programming experience Experienced Java

programmers can use it as a language reference

Programmers with substantial experience with languagessuch as C and C++ should be able to pick up Java syntaxquickly by reading this chapter; beginning programmerswith only a modest amount of experience should be able tolearn Java programming by studying this chapter carefully

Chapter 3: Object-Oriented Programming in Java

documented in Chapter 2 is used to write object-orientedprograms in Java The chapter assumes no prior experiencewith OO programming It can be used as a tutorial by newprogrammers or as a reference by experienced Java

programmers

Chapter 4: Java 5.0 Language Features

This chapter documents the three biggest new features ofJava 5.0: generic types, enumerated types, and

annotations If you read previous editions of this book, youmight want to skip directly to this chapter

Chapter 5: The Java Platform

This chapter is an overview of the essential Java APIs

covered in this book It contains numerous short examplesthat demonstrate how to perform common tasks with theclasses and interfaces that comprise the Java platform

Programmers who are new to Java (and especially thosewho learn best by example) should find this a valuable

chapter

Chapter 6: Java Security

This chapter explains the Java security architecture thatallows untrusted code to run in a secure environment fromwhich it cannot do any malicious damage to the host

system It is important for all Java programmers to have atleast a passing familiarity with Java security mechanisms

This chapter documents important and widely adopted Javaprogramming conventions, including JavaBeans namingconventions It also explains how you can make your Javacode self-documenting by including specially formatteddocumentation comments

Chapter 8: Java Development Tools

Sun's JDK includes a number of useful Java developmenttools, most notably the Java interpreter and the Java

compiler This chapter documents those tools

These first eight chapters teach you the Java language and getyou up and running with the Java APIs Part II of the book is asuccinct but detailed API reference formatted for optimum ease

of use Please be sure to readSection II.1 in Part II; it explainshow to get the most out of the quick reference section Also,please note that the quick reference chapters are followed byone final chapter called "Class, Method, and Field Index." Thisspecial index allows you to look up the name of a type and findthe package in which it is defined or to look up the name of amethod or field and find the type in which it it is defined

O'Reilly publishes an entire series of books on Java

programming, including several companion books to this one.The companion books are:

Java Examples in a Nutshell

This book contains hundreds of complete, working examplesillustrating many common Java programming tasks using

the core, enterprise, and desktop APIs Java Examples in a

Nutshell is like Chapter 4 of this book, but greatly expanded

in breadth and depth, and with all the code snippets fullyfleshed out into working examples This is a particularlyvaluable book for readers who learn well by experimentingwith existing code

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell

This book is a succinct tutorial for the Java "Enterprise" APIssuch as JDBC, RMI, JNDI, and CORBA It also cover

enterprise tools such as Hibernate, Struts, Ant, JUnit, andXDoclet

J2ME in a Nutshell

This book is a tutorial and quick reference for the graphics,networking, and database APIs of the Java 2 Micro Edition(J2ME) platform
