Java

  Eclipse, the best editor

• Studieboeken/Tutorials
• Ik prefereer John Zukowski's "Mastering Java 2", maar da's niet voor beginners
  
• Aangeraden door studenten:
• Java 2 in 21 dagen, Isbn: 90-430-0395-6. Het boek is te verkrijgen via de standaard boekhandel, of anders via www.pearsoneducation.nl
• Aan de slag met Java, van Gertjan Laan
  
• Sun's online Java Tutorial is zeer OK (More tutorials on JAVA)
  
• Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java (zijn website, boek is te downloaden van hier)
• Java Reference
• jdk 1.5.0 online documentation
  
• new language features (another document)
  
• jdk 1.4.2 documentation
  
• Visual Attractive Class Diagrams
  
• in JCreator: Help -> JDK Help
  
• op uw PC: zie onder uw java-directory/docs/api/index.html
• in de PC-lokalen: w:/xp/apps/prog/j2sdk1.4.0_03/docs/api/index.html
• Example Applications: come together with jdk, under subdirectory demo
• Free Code:
  
• JCommon (some utility classes) & JFreeChart (extensive chart possibilities!)
  

The Java language

1. Basics
2. Expressions
3. Statements
4. Classes
5. Methods
6. Arrays
7. Non-obvious details
   

 Graphical user interfaces in Java

1. Example Code MyFrame.java


2. Java Swing Class Model
• Java Swing Class Hierarchy
• zie onder uw java-directory/docs/api/index.html
• online JAVA API documentation
• online JAVA Tutorial, another tutorial


3. GUI construction
• position components without a layout (with absolutes coordinates)
  
• Use Boxes for layouting (dit is volgens mij het simpelste om te layouten)
  
• about painting & repainting (downloaded from Extropia)
• immediate repainting (another solution is using threads)
  


4. Event handling

Possible methods (see examples in EventHandlingFrame.java):

1. by subclassing
2. with event listener
• a. Create a new listener class by subclassing the EventListener and implementing all listener methods
• b. Make a GUI object a listener by implementing all listener methods
• c. Make an instant EventListener
  
3. with event adapter
• a. Create a new listener class by subclassing the EventAdapter and implementing the useful listener methods
• b. Make an instant EventAdapter

• Create your own Listeners: het EventGeneratingObject genereert events (methods ProcessEvent en ProcessEvent2 worden opgeroepen) die in het ReactingOnEventObject afgehandeld worden, zonder dat in de code van EventGeneratingObject iets over het reagerend object staat (= event delegation, scheiden van code)!
• Change look and feel to OS look and feel:  UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
