Java Class Libraries Poster, Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition, Version 1. 4

This poster gives you an overall view of the classes in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, v1.4. There are a total of 357 public classes and interfaces within the 21 packages in this first release of the platform. For each package, all of the classes and interfaces in the package are displayed, showing their relationships to each other. If a class subclasses a class from another package or if a class implements an interface from another package, these "foreign" classes and interfaces are also shown. Foreign classes and interfaces are marked in such a way as to easily determine which package they actually belong to. Also indicated is whether each class is final or abstract.
