Author Description

Fifth Edition now available! This poster gives you an overall view of the classes in the Java(r) 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.2. There are now a total of 1,781 public classes and interfaces within the 60 core packages in this latest version. Fifty-one of these packages are displayed in this poster. For each package, all of the classes and interfaces in the package are displayed, showing their relationships to each other. If a class subclasses a class from another package or if a class implements an interface from another package, these "foreign" classes and interfaces are also shown. Foreign classes and interfaces are marked in such a way as to easily determine which package they actually belong to. Also indicated is whether each class is final or abstract. Not shown: java.awt.peer; javax.swing.plaf.*; org.omg.*Package; all exceptions and errors; inner classes from javax.swing.* Poster are shipped folded.
