In addition to the core J2SE Platform, Java Software provides specific technologies that further enable developers to develop Java based solutions.

Java^TM Web Start
A new application-deployment technology -- gives you the power to lauch full-featured applications with a single click from you Web browser. You can now download and launch applications, such as a completed spreadsheet program or an internet chat client, without going through complicated installation procedures.

Java^TM XML Pack
The Java^TM XML Pack is an all-in-one download of Java technologies for XML. Java XML Pack brings together several of the key industry standards for XML -- such as SAX, DOM, XSLT, SOAP, UDDI, ebXML, and WSDL -- into one convenient download, thereby giving developers the technologies needed to get started with web applications and services.

Java^TM Web Services Pack
The Java^TM Web Services Developer Pack ("Java^TM WSDP") is an all-in-one download containing key technologies to simplify building of web services using the Java^TM 2 Platform.

Java Media Framework
The Java^TM Media Framework API (JMF) enables audio, video, and other time-based media to be added to Java applications and applets. This optional package, which can capture, playback, stream and transcode multiple media formats, extends the multimedia capabilities on the J2SE^TM platform, and gives mulitmedia developers a powerful toolkit to develop scalable, cross-platform technology.

Java 3D
Developers can easily incorporate high-quality, scalable, platform-independent 3D graphics into Java^TM technology-based applications and applets.
