Examples of Using the JDK 1.1 AWT

This page contains links to examples (applets and their source code) of using new features in the JDK 1.1 AWT. These examples were provided by the AWT team.

Note: The examples work only under the 1.1 release of the JDK. If they don't work for you, make sure you're using a 1.1-compliant browser/viewer, such as the 1.1 version of HotJava or the JDK Applet Viewer.

Lightweight Components
Unicode (and using an inner class for event handling)
Note: This example doesn't fully work under the 1.1beta3 release, since Symbol and Zapf Dingbat mapping to Unicode characters isn't supported until after beta3.

You can find links to more 1.1 AWT programs in Demonstration Applets and Applications. Be sure to look at SortItem.java, which uses an inner class (at the bottom of the source file) to simplify the implementation of an event listener. Very cool, but not at all compatible with 1.0.
