Rezensionen:

Java Swing, long regarded as the authoritative book on using the Swing classes, is available in a new edition that builds on a solid foundation in exploring the Java 2 Swing additions and modifications. This is a big, tremendously detailed, exhaustively researched, and ultimately authoritative reference that pushes the limits of what a book can do toward eliminating the necessity of writing experimental programs to see how Swing classes work in practice. You'll find in these pages bits of software that show how most of Swing works: all of the major features get lavish attention, while most of the minor classes are demonstrated adequately, as well.

You could probably find demonstrations free of charge on the Internet, however. The true value of this work is in the comments its five authors have attached to their copious examples. They can be quite specific: at least one such segment warns that default Swing behavior violates Mac OS X user interface guidelines and explains how to work around the problem. Another section explains how the methods of the UndoableEdit class can be used in various ways, to implement different user interface behavior options. Some readers will head straight to the O'Reilly Web site, where they can grab the code and examine it in an editor rather than in print--code listings take up a lot of space here--but everyone will appreciate the concise hierarchy, method, and property documentation, as well as the wisdom contained in the prose.--David Wall

In bygone days programmers reckoned 10 per cent of the effort went into the program and 90 per cent into its user interface. Most modern programming environments build user interfaces on the fly--apart from Java which is weak and provides inconsistent classes in this area. But no more.

Swing is completely written in Java to avoid platform dependencies and is designed to make interfaces to Java programs easy to create; but in itself it's complex. The authors take 1200 pages to explain it all, beginning with an apology for any confusion on version numbering and availability - Swing is still a moving target.

Java Swing starts by describing changes from the AWT classes. It also introduces, describes and provides usage examples of the new Swing classes and interfaces. Along with the basics are a number of complete Swing applications, including a text editor. By the time you reach the end of the book you're already modifying the basic interface to provide a customised look and feel for applications.

The authors claim there will be a new version when Swing settles down with final package names and a "finished" release for JDK 1.1. Don't wait. You need Java Swing now. --Steve Patient-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
