"Examplets" are code snippets that illustrate a particular task. They're designed to show which classes and members are involved in performing the task, and how the classes and members interact with each other. You will see blue italicized text in an examplet; this indicates code that should be replaced if you use it in your program. An examplet can have enough detail for you to use it, as is. Or you might have to get more information about the involved classes. A good place to find information about the Java 2 Platform APIs is the Java 2 Platform API index
