Publisher's description

From Sun Microsystems :

The Java 2 Development Kit lets you write Java applets that conform to the latest applet API for the Java programming language. Version 1.2 (Java 2) adds new functionality to Java, including accessibility, drag-and-drop, application services, Java extensions framework, collections, input methods, version identification, reference objects, Java interface definition language (IDL), Java Virtual Machine Debugger Interface (JVMDI), Java servlets, and Javadoc doclets. Major enhancements have also been added to JavaBeans components, Java Security, Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), object serialization, Java Sound, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), reflection, Java Archive (JAR), and Java Native Interface (JNI). Performance enhancements include native thread support, memory compression for loaded classes, faster memory allocation and garbage collection, monitor speed-ups, and native library JNI port. Version 1.2.1 includes a fix for a bug in the SDK that posed a potential security risk by allowing an untrusted applet to execute unverified code under certain circumstances. For a complete list of features in this version please see the release notes. For assistance with installation, read the installation notes.

Note: The JDK 1.2 release includes the Japanese locale.
