The Java Class Libraries: An Annotated Reference (Java Series)
by Patrick Chan and Rosanna Lee

This example-driven, annotated reference guide to the Java class libraries from two leading Java developers is an essential resource for both designer and experienced Java programmers.

You will find complete and detailed coverage of all the class libraries, including the Core Packages (java.io, java.net, java.util, and java.lang) as well as the Window toolkit and Applet packages (java.awt, java.awt.image, java.awt.peer, and java.applet), including more than 600 examples and more than 200 lines of code. This book has been specifically designed to make it possible to find information on every class or member quickly and easily. Each class description includes:

- a class hierarchy diagram showing the connection to related classes
- a detailed overview describing its purpose and key concepts
- a convenient member summary which briefly describes each member and arranges the members into related groups
- an example demonstrating the class in a "real-world" context
- comprehensive descriptions and examples for each of it's members
