Java ® Platform, Standard Edition & Java Development Kit
Version 11 API Specification
Java SE The Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) APIs define the core Java platform for general-purpose computing. These APIs are in modules whose names start with java . JDK The Java Development Kit (JDK) APIs are specific to the JDK and will not necessarily be available in all implementations of the Java SE Platform. These APIs are in modules whose names start with jdk .
Defines the AWT and Swing user interface toolkits, plus APIs for accessibility, audio, imaging, printing, and JavaBeans.
Defines the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP), the Streaming API for XML (StAX), the Simple API for XML (SAX), and the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) API.
Defines the implementation of the system documentation tool and its command line equivalent, javadoc.
Defines tools for analysing dependencies in Java libraries and programs, including the jdeps, javap, and jdeprscan tools.
Defines the jlink tool for creating run-time images, the jmod tool for creating and manipulating JMOD files, and the jimage tool for inspecting the JDK implementation-specific container file for classes and resources.
This module provides support for Java Programming Language ‘snippet’ evaluating tools, such as Read-Eval-Print Loops (REPLs), including the jshell tool.
Defines tools for transforming a JAR file into a compressed pack200 file and transforming a packed file into a JAR file, including the pack200 and unpack200 tools.
Defines the rmic compiler for generating stubs and skeletons using the Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP) for remote objects.
Provides the implementation of Nashorn script engine and the runtime environment for programs written in ECMAScript 5.1.
