  1. JDK 1.2 (currently b3) • Attractive for applications, less so for applets • browser problems with 1.1 on some platforms, 1.2 ??? • same event model, all 1.1 code should run under 1.2 • augments JDK 1.1.X in several ways • JFC/Swing (Java Foundation Classes) • light(er)weight widgets, also can be used with 1.1.X, so this is a possibility for applications/applets (unclear on applet use) • many new widgets, JButton, JFrame, JPanel, JTree, and many others, see javadoc • default double-buffering, debuggable graphics, ...

  2. JFC • Portable Look and Feel (plaf) • Java Look and Feel (aka Metal) • Windows look and feel (won’t work under Unix) • Motif look and feel • other “extras” and make-your-own • Using JFC/Swing can result in VERY SLOW applications • might be faster with a JIT (just-in-time compiler) • slow on ultrasparcs, not tested (by ola) under NT/95 • New widgets can save time, but cumbersome under 1.1.x • see demo directory in the 1.1.x hierarchy • it’s the future, but it’s not serializable

  3. Harpoon Ideas • What are the tricky parts of Harpoon, what should be done first, what should be done second • What’s a “figure”/”drawable” • how are figures moved? • how are figure resized? • How is a presentation saved? • YAMAL is one choice • serializable is another choice

  4. Decorator and Composite pattern • Composite pattern shown by AWT Container/Component • character, row/column, composite • what is a component? what is a container? • useful for whole/part hierarchies, differentiate between leaf/composite, but both are components • what is the ABC? where are the children? • What about layout? Why is this tricky? • How is text resized, what about fonts • Decorator: add responsibility, but no subclassing, what about a button with a border? A panel with a scrollbar? • Visual component is base class/interface • decorator implements Visual, but stores a component and defers operations to component
