The Java^TM Shared Data Toolkit software is a development library that allows developers to easily add collaboration features to applets and applications written in the Java programming language.

Enterprise developers can use the Java Shared Data Toolkit software to create network-centric applications, such as shared whiteboards or chat environments. It can also be used for remote presentations, shared simulations, and to easily distribute data for enhanced group workflow.

The Java Shared Data Toolkit complements Sun's rich suite of Java multimedia technologies by allowing them to be incorporated into "sessions" created and managed with the Java Shared Data Toolkit.

The Java Shared Data Toolkit software features:

• Compliance with Sun's 100% Pure Java^TM certification standards: the Java Shared Data Toolkit can be used in any Java Compatible^TM environment.
• Sample programs: provides examples of a chat environment, a shared whiteboard, a networked game, a stock quote viewer, and a sound server
• Robust, multi-threaded code: a substantial timesaver for developers
• Small footprint: quick and easy to download
