Synopsis

JFC is about to extend the Java AWT, dramatically improving Java's graphic capabilities and making it possible for developers to build state-of-the-art user interfaces. With practical, detailed examples, Core JFC shows experienced developers how to use JFC as effectively as possible. Understand what the Java Foundation Classes are, what they allow you to accomplish, and how they work together. Walk step-by-step through developing JFC-based applications and components. Learn about each significant JFC class, starting with the JFrame class that establishes the shell of an application. Understand the Java 1.1 event model; approaches for managing the user interface, establishing application control through dialog boxes; and creating menus and toolbars. Learn how to use enhanced JFC user interface components, including the JBorder class; application progress bars with JProgressBar; list and combo boxes; overlapping components. Take an in-depth look at the powerful new text components and the underlying document architecture; examine in detail the tree and table controls and see how to customize them to meet your needs. Finally, learn how to extend the JFC with custom components and how to write a custom look-and-feel of your own. Essential coverage of all the new "Swing" classes, which dramatically simplify the development of state-of-the-art GUIs. The perfect bridge book to help Java developers migrate from AWT to JFC - and the perfect state-to-finish tutorial for experienced developers new to Java GUI building. Proven Core Series format! The best information and code for real developers with real problems and real deadlines!

The long-awaited Java Foundation Classes (JFC) greatly expand Java's graphics capabilities and streamline the construction of state-of-the-art user interfaces. Core Java ™ Foundation Classes offers the detailed information experienced developers need to make the most of JFC-whether they're migrating from AWT or building Java GUIs for the first time.

Using extensive real-world examples, Kim Topley introduces the new Swing classes. You'll learn what the Swing classes are, what they allow you to accomplish, and how they work together. You'll walk step by step through the development of JFC-based applications and components and master such crucial JFC concepts as pluggable look-and-feel.

From creating your application's shell with the JFrame class to developing your own look-and-feel, Core Java ™ Foundation Classes is the most comprehensive programmer's guide to sophisticated JFC-based development. (NOTE: examples use Swing 1.0.1 with JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.2 Beta 3)

STATE-OF-THE-ART INFORMATION FOR JFC DEVELOPERS.

• GUIs and applications: dialog boxes, menus, toolbars and beyond.
• Enhanced user interface components, including borders, progress bars, list and combo boxes.
• In-depth coverage of the Swing text components, including how to display and edit HTML and Rich Text Format (RTF) files.
• Trees and Tables, including how to extend and customize them.
• Changing the look-and-feel of a component or of an entire application.

BY PROGRAMMERS, FOR PROGRAMMERS.

Series editor Gary Cornell, co-author of the wildly successful Core Java, brings his diverse experience and perspective to a new series of books written by serious programmers for serious programmers. Like Core Java, every Core Series book:

• DEMONSTRATES how to write commercial quality code.
• FEATURES dozens of nontrivial programs and examples-no toy code!
• FOCUSES on the features and functions most important to real developers.
• PROVIDES objective, unbiased coverage of cutting-edge technologies-no hype!
