How This API Document Is Organized

This API (Application Programming Interface) document has pages corresponding to the items in the navigation bar, described as follows.

Package

Each package has a page that contains a list of its classes and interfaces, with a summary for each. This page can contain six categories:

Interfaces (italic)

Classes

Enums

Exceptions

Errors

Annotation Types

Class/Interface

Each class, interface, nested class and nested interface has its own separate page. Each of these pages has three sections consisting of a class/interface description, summary tables, and detailed member descriptions:

Class inheritance diagram

Direct Subclasses

All Known Subinterfaces

All Known Implementing Classes

Class/interface declaration

Class/interface description

Nested Class Summary

Field Summary

Constructor Summary

Method Summary

Field Detail

Constructor Detail

Method Detail

Each summary entry contains the first sentence from the detailed description for that item. The summary entries are alphabetical, while the detailed descriptions are in the order they appear in the source code. This preserves the logical groupings established by the programmer.

Annotation Type

Each annotation type has its own separate page with the following sections:

Annotation Type declaration

Annotation Type description

Required Element Summary

Optional Element Summary

Element Detail

Enum

Each enum has its own separate page with the following sections:

Enum declaration

Enum description

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constant Detail

Tree (Class Hierarchy)

There is a Class Hierarchy page for all packages, plus a hierarchy for each package. Each hierarchy page contains a list of classes and a list of interfaces. The classes are organized by inheritance structure starting with java.lang.Object. The interfaces do not inherit from java.lang.Object.

When viewing the Overview page, clicking on "Tree" displays the hierarchy for all packages.

When viewing a particular package, class or interface page, clicking "Tree" displays the hierarchy for only that package.

Deprecated API

The Deprecated API page lists all of the API that have been deprecated. A deprecated API is not recommended for use, generally due to improvements, and a replacement API is usually given. Deprecated APIs may be removed in future implementations.

Index

The Index contains an alphabetic list of all classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields.

Prev/Next

These links take you to the next or previous class, interface, package, or related page.

Frames/No Frames

These links show and hide the HTML frames.  All pages are available with or without frames.

All Classes

The All Classes link shows all classes and interfaces except non-static nested types.

Serialized Form

Each serializable or externalizable class has a description of its serialization fields and methods. This information is of interest to re-implementors, not to developers using the API. While there is no link in the navigation bar, you can get to this information by going to any serialized class and clicking "Serialized Form" in the "See also" section of the class description.

Constant Field Values

The Constant Field Values page lists the static final fields and their values.

This help file applies to API documentation generated using the standard doclet.
