| Java Programming on Linux is a detailed how-to book on using Java on a Linux operating system. Topics include installing and enabling a Java runtime environment under Linux, Java development in Linux, running Java applications and applets under Linux, using Java with Linux-based Web servers, using Sun Components JCE and JAI in Linux, using Sun Environments Personal Java, Embedded Java, and Jini in Linux, and using JNI to Link Java and Native Capabilities.
This book is neither a course in Java programming nor a manual for the Linux OS. While the well-written text provides overviews of both Java and Linux, it's really a compendium of information you'll want on hand once you've chosen Java-on-Linux. Coverage includes: configuring your Linux desktop, a list of the Java core classes, a rundown of compilers, the Kaffe cleanroom, tidbits about Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman, the Open Source movement, when JIT compilers are a benefit, threads, GNU, what's supported where, decompilers and obfuscators, and improved graphical rendering. This must-have book will answer your questions and provide enjoyable browsing for a long time
With Java Programming on Linux, you will learn:
- How to install, configure, troubleshoot, and use Sun’s Java Development Kit on the Linux operating system.
- How to use many of the Java runtime and development environments (from Sun and elsewhere) available for Linux.
- How to develop on Linux and distribute your applications to users on all operating systems.
- How to access the unique capabilities of Linux and the X Window System from Java.
- How to identify performance bottlenecks that are slowing down your Java applications on Linux and other platforms.
- How to deploy Java on Linux servers to support three-tier application architectures.
About the Author Nathan Meyers spent 20 years as a software developer and architect with Hewlett-Packard Company, working on platforms ranging from embedded systems to large UNIX servers. His development background includes operating systems, development tools, device drivers, tools for performance tuning, graphics applications, and GUIs. Nathan was part of the HP team that did pioneering work on the X Window Systems, the Motif Toolkit, and the Common Desktop Environment. He has been working with Linux since 1995 and with Java on Linux since the early Linux JDK1.1 platform releases. |
