Migrating to 1.1
Usually, converting a 1.0 program to 1.1 is fairly easy. In fact,
making the decision of when to migrate can be more difficult than
actually changing the program's code. This lesson discusses what to
consider as you decide when to upgrade. It then presents information to
help upgrade programs quickly.
helps you determine if and when a program should be upgraded to the JDK
1.1 release.
Some of the 1.0 API is deprecated, which means that it's no longer
recommended. If you try to compile a program that uses deprecated API,
the compiler gives you a warning. This section
gives you more information about deprecation.
This section provides step-by-step instructions on what to do if your
program uses deprecated API. Besides giving you general instructions,
this section pays special attention to the common situations of
converting code that uses deprecated I/O and AWT API.
As you convert your program to 1.1, you need to determine what code to
substitute for deprecated API. This section provides
many resources to help you, including several tables that contain
deprecated methods and their alternatives.
The information in this section is taken directly from the Java
website. Read this to find out specifically how 1.1 is compatible
with previous releases and JavaSoft's general compatiblity
policy.
