This book also includes O'Reilly's classic-style, quick-reference material for all of the classes in the "javax.swing" and "java.awt" packages and their numerous subpackages. This reference material covers all of the new JFC classes in the Java 2 platform, as well as the existing Java 1.1 AWT classes. Once you've learned about the JFC, you'll keep this book next to your keyboard for handy reference while you program.

"Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell" contains the following:

This book is part of the two-volume set of quick references that every Java programmer needs. It is an essential companion to "Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition," which covers the key nongraphical APIs in Java 1.2. A third volume, "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell," focuses on the Java Enterprise APIs and is of interest to programmers working on server-side or enterprise Java applications.
