This book is for developers who are looking for an all-purpose resource on Java and the latest update, JDK, and for those who are ready for more advanced Java solutions and language features or need a bit of assistance when tackling new Java problems that may be outside their experience. After an overview of tools and techniques, coverage includes when to use Java open source tools such as Ant and Junit; the techniques to implement, save, and restore functionality to applications; how to interact with other language libraries using Java Native Interface; ways to communicate between Java components; methods to secure and deploy applications; how to produce a configurable process architecture; and how to exploit common patterns in Java.
