Does any documentation, other than the API, exist for the java.awt
package?
From what I've been able to glean several things strike me as
somewhat odd about this architecture.
1. Windows require a Frame as an argument in their constructor.
Frame is a subclass of Window. This appears to be somewhat
topsy-turvy. You need an instance of subclass to construct the
super class.
2. Windows and Frames (and Applets) inherit from Container and
Component. Containers contain Components, yet it doesn't really
make sense to add a Container to a container, does it? i.e.
In an attempt top open a window, I naively tried something
essentially like the following in the init() method of an applet:
public void init() {
...
aFrame = new Frame();
aFrame.resize (400,400);
aFrame.move (100,100);
add(aFrame);
aFrame.show();
...
}
Two windows appeared!!
Any guidance would be appreciated.
