Discussion Topic 2
- Critical evaluation of platform specific libraries
Manufacturers
of some Java compiler products include class libraries that are not
platform-independent. Programmers that use these libraries run the risk of
their programs not being portable. For example, Microsoft's 'Visual J++'
product is shipped with class libraries that interact directly with the Windows
user interface. This allows the programmer to create displays that take
advantage of Windows elements that are not supported by AWT or Swing.
What
are the advantages and disadvantages of using these vendor-specific class
libraries?
