Inside Macintosh: Programming With JManager /


Preface - About This Document

Programming With JManager describes how to create a Java™ runtime environment and execute Java applets and applications on the Mac OS platform. You should read this document if you want to create Mac OS applications that can support the execution of Java code. For example, if you are writing a Web browser, you can use JManager to display Java applets within the browser. You can also use JManager to create Mac OS-compatible Java applications.

The Java™ Applet/Application Manager (JManager) is a set of C-based functions that you use for instantiating an environment to run Java code on the Mac OS platform and to interact with the code within it. Many JManager functions are also available as Java methods, so you can access them from Java code as well; a listing of the corresponding methods is included.

This document does not describe the Java language, low-level details of the Java virtual machine, or the Java Native Interface (JNI). For that information, you should consult JavaSoft documentation, which you can access through the Java home page:
