Swing: 2nd Edition - Softcover

This book builds on the successful approach of the first edition of "Swing", once again taking the power and flexibility of Java's Swing library to its limits.*Using a fast-paced style, it starts by introducing each of the Swing components and continues with production-quality code examples in which Swing features are customized, combined, and vigorously exercised to demonstrate real-world usage. *With over 400 pages of revised text, additional examples, and new material to bring the book up to date with J2SE 1.4, "Swing Second Edition" includes complete coverage of the new JSpinner and JFormattedTextField components, the new Focus and Keyboard architectures, and many other new and enhanced Swing features. Three new chapters have also been added to cover the construction of HTML and XML editor applications, and how to work with the new Drag & Drop architecture. *Foreword by James Gosling, "Father" of Java
