The awtCommand Class

This has been superceded by the delegation event model of Java 1.1

The awtCommand library implements a different way of handling events to the mechanisms of the AWT toolkit, based on the Command class of the book "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.

The software is also to appear on the CD Roms of

Emacs support

Emacs is a powerful editor that can be customised to all sorts of behaviour. If you have emacs 19.30 or Xemacs 19.11 (or later), then you will already have a Java-mode built in. If you have earlier versions, then you can get the "official" Java-mode from ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/emacs/cc-mode.tar.gz or a simpler version from ftp://ftp.javasoft.com/pub/java/contrib/emacs/ .
