Amazon.com 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. | ||

This is the OLD book This is a great book, but you want the second edition, which covers up to Java 1.1. Its ISBN is different. | ||
Great Reference with Great Examples The book is a very good reference with excellent example code. I was a beginner when I purchased it and it was invaluable. I look forward to using volume 2 of this book. | ||
Great Resource This combined with the subsequent Class Libraries AWT, beans and applet for 1.1 by the same authors are the best Java books I have purchased. Combined with the jdk 1.1 Nutshell book and VisualAge for Java from IBM...you are able to find methods quickly and easily...and then utilize them. Great Job! | ||
The Bible of Java Class libraries. I have the book by my side at all times when working on my Java code. It is indispensable. All the classes are list alphabetically which helps in locating what you need. The 2nd edition is out now that covers Java 1.1 classes. A must have!!! | ||
Required for JDK 1.02 but... If you are doing JDK 1.02 programming, this book is required. I can find anything I need about any class quicker with this book than with any other Java class reference. I need to know specific return values from methods, its there. I need to look at an example of how to use a class or method, it there. This is the easiest (but heaviest) Java reference book I have used. However... If you plan on coding exclusively with JDK 1.1 I would wait for the upcoming two volume set (by the same title) from these authors. If they are as good as this volume, they will be worth the money in the time that they save. | ||
