Java Development Kit for Mac
Java Development Kit for Mac is a cross-platform SDK platform to provide
specific implementation of Java SE, Java EE and Java ME platforms.
Key contents include:
Additional Libraries
(In the lib/ subdirectory) Additional class libraries and support files
required by the development tools.
Demo Applets and Applications
(In the demo/ subdirectory) Examples, with source code, of programming for
the Javaplatform. These include examples that use Swing and other Java
Foundation Classes, and the Java Platform Debugger Architecture.
Sample Code
(In the sample subdirectory) Samples, with source code, of programming for
certain Java API's.
C header Files
(In the include/ subdirectory) Header files that support native-code
programming using the Java Native Interface, the JVM Tool Interface, and
other functionality of the Javaplatform.
Source Code
(In src.zip) Java programming language source files for all classes that
make up the Java core API (that is, sources files for the java.*, javax.*
and some org.* packages, but not for com.sun.* packages). This source code
is provided for informational purposes only, to help developers learn and
use the Java programming language. These files do not include platform-
specific implementation code and cannot be used to rebuild the class
libraries. To extract these file, use any common zip utility. Or, you may
use the Jar utility in the JDK's bin/ directory: jar xvf
src.zip.
Java Development Kit for Mac includes a wide variety of tools for
streamlined developing, debugging, testing, and monitoring of Java
applications. The package contains more than 30 individual tools and
services which can be used to control every aspect of Java application
development, from concept to final phase and deployment to end
users.
