Hi there
Can you help me in finding API reference for JAVA1.2 ?
please don't just tell me go to java.sun.com I can't find there if you don't mind then go one step further and give me the link.
I will be thankful if you give me the download link for it.
(yeah, u r right i m bit idiot )
Thanks
Amit

Again this is a compressed file download that will create all the html or PDF documentation pages for the API in your jdk1.2 folder. http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-docs.html
or you can always look at them online at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/index.html

Thanks Colin,
I know that you may be thinking that I am asking too much, but the API ref. I was using was a zip file and and it was like windows help. so if you type math it gives you result.
The one you just told me are API Reference as a set of HTML pages generated with JavaDoc which I don't want (bit picky innit)
sorry, I am not picky but that the API I am more useto. If I am not gonna find that then I have no other option. do i?
anyway, thanks for your help
Amit

Gee when you find it let us know. I always use the one Colin pointed to.
Course you can change the /1.2 to /1.3 or /1.4 to get the newer stuff.

Amit,
I was used to a different API before I started on Java and to me the Sun API was horrible and slow, but now I am used to it and I can find my way around quite quickly. So do persevere, you will get used to it.
If you want to do searches then click on 'Index' in the API - it lists all methods in all classes. Not exactly like windows help but it is a starting point.
Perhaps some expensive 'professional' IDE provides a windows help file - maybe you should check in the IDE forum.

Colin already gave you the Sun API.
We were sort of waiting for YOU to find that other API, since we haven't seen it.

I know what you are talking about - you mean the 'windows help' that was built for the Java API(s) right ? I have seen it myself. I will try to find out where you can get it okay ?

Amit,
Looks like Matt can help you, however it might be worth considering whether this help file will be maintained for versions 1.3 and 1.4 of Java, since it is obviously not a Sun product.
However, you can be sure the Sun API documentation is always upto date and accurate.

Yes, I would wholeheartedly agree with Colin. The windows help version of the API Reference is easy to use, but you would always be best advised to use the Sun documentation. Still, I'll try and dig out what you're looking for.

I think this is what you are looking for:
Java WinHelp Files
I think there is WinHelp for every version of the API.

you can also try the DocFather utility at http://java.sun.com/docs/searchabledocs.html
this enables you to type in your key words and then it searches the api (or tutorials) and gives you a list of match's. I have found that it has been very useful quite a few times.
