Description

Whether you use a UNIX-based system or a Windows-based system, the Java Developer's Kit provides you with a complete toolkit for developing powerful Java programs. The tools you will use most often are the Java compiler, interpreter, and applet viewer. Other tools in the JDK have a more limited purpose but are useful as well. You can use the Java API documentation generator to create online documentation. You will use the Java header and stub file generator when you want Java classes to interact with C/C++ libraries. You will use the Java class file disassembler when you want to gain insight into the inner workings of class files.
