This chapter introduce how to create and manipulate simple objects with attributes and behaviors that you can specify. We do so through the use of classes. The class is Java's principal mechanism for supporting object-oriented design. | Classes Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Standard class Part of the swing library import .* ; Example Consider JFrame w1 = new JFrame("Bigger"); JFrame w2 = new JFrame("Smaller"); (200, 125); (150, 100); (true); (true); A JFrame is the principal way in Java to represent a titled, bordered graphical window. Class JFrame is part of the standard package swing. The swing package is one of several APIs (application programmer interfaces) that comprise the Java Foundations Classes (JFC). Although now part of the Java standard, the Java Foundation Classes are extensions of the original Java specification. Because it is an extension, the swing package is found at .
