Java API

The purpose of the Java 2 Platform SE 5.0 API is that it lists all the packages, classes, methods, constructors, errors and obsolete code that is available for use in the Java language. It is quite extensive and is a great reference tool to help with programming in Java. When looking at a specific class it is further broken down in a tree format and continues to branch out as you find the specific method you want to employ in your code. This is a powerful tool that helps the novice user to Java and the seasoned Java programmer to access an array of commands that would be virtually impossible to memorize.
