Swing
has something for all Java audiences, but is mainly intended for experienced
and advanced GUI developers. Each chapter begins with a discussion of relevant
classes and interfaces, often interspersed with small example applications to
demonstrate key features. The remainder is then devoted to extensive,
real-world examples that are explained thoroughly and are often built on top
of one another. These examples are the main thrust of this book and make up
most of its content.
|
Each Swing component is covered in depth with several accompanying examples.
The authors have also identified five areas of Swing that deserve significantly
more attention than others due to their size and complexity: the text package,
the tree package, the table package, MDI environments, and pluggable look
and feel. Thus, you will find the examples of this material particularly
extensive. Additionaly, the authors have included chapters on five special
topics: Java2D, Printing, Accessibility, JavaHelp, and CORBA -- all in
terms of Swing.
