Features: The book you are holding is the Chinese edition of the 5th edition, Volume II of Core Java. The first edition was released in early 1996, the second edition in late 1996, and the third edition in 1997/1998. The first two editions were single-volume versions, but the second edition was significantly longer than the first, so it was no longer a thin book. When we began developing the third edition, we felt that a single volume could no longer accommodate all the features of the Java platform that programmers needed to understand. For this reason, we decided to split the book into two volumes starting with the third edition. In this edition, we again divided it into two volumes. However, we innovatively arranged the content, placing the features of data streams in Volume I and the features of collections in Volume II. This book is an advanced reference for Java programmers on the Java 2 platform (including the complete update of JDK 1.3 and the standard version of JDK 1.4), and is the sister volume to New Core Java 2 Volume I: Fundamentals. Volume I introduces the basic features of Java technology, while Volume II focuses on the advanced features of Java technology. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each of which is independent, allowing readers to refer to the technical information that interests them. The book is rich in content, covers a wide range of topics, and is highly practical. The numerous example codes and newly added and modified features provide excellent guidance for Java programmers. The accompanying CD-ROM includes the complete source code examples, Forte for Java 2.0 Community Edition, and the standard version of Java 2 SDK.
