Design, functionality, and extensibility in the 1.0 Java API.
JONNI KANERVA, JavaSoft
FRANK YELLIN, JavaSoft
This talk overviews the functionality, design, and extensibility of the
class packages in the 1.0 Java API: java.lang, java.io, java.util, java.net,
java.awt, java.awt.image, java.awt.peer, and java.applet. In addition to
surveying the packages, we discuss and exemplify pervasive design issues
such as simplicity, architecture neutrality, and modularity. Extensibility
is a special focus of the talk, in two ways: how the existing classes are
extensible, and how the API will grow to accomodate fuller functionality
in all areas.
