Backcover Copy

Completely revised and up-to-date coverage of

• Multithreading—including the java.util.concurrent library, locks, condition objects, futures, thread pools, thread-safe collections, threads and Swing
• Collection classes—collections framework, concrete collections, and generic utility methods
• Annotations and metadata—using annotations to automate programming tasks, JDK™ 5.0 standard annotations, the apt tool for source-level annotation processing, and bytecode engineering

All of the sample programs have been updated and carefully crafted to illustrate practical solutions to the type of real-world problems professional developers encounter.

Volume II includes new sections on annotations and other J2SE 5.0 enhancements, along with complete coverage of

• Multithreading
• Distributed objects
• Databases
• JNDI and LDAP
• Advanced GUI components
• Native methods
• XML processing
• Network programming
• Collection classes
• Advanced graphics
• Internationalization
• JavaBeans
• Annotations
