Prerequisites

This tutorial is intended for people who already have good familiarity with Java programming, especially in the realm of graphical user interface applications. If you are new to Java programming, you should become familiar with the language and environment before taking this tutorial. If you have experience with the Java language, but have never done any graphical programming, it might be best to get some exposure before commencing this effort.


System requirements

You will need JavaScript enabled on your browser.

Java 2D programming requires the Java 2 platform, Standard Edition. To execute Java 2D programs without the development capabilities, the Java 2 runtime environment (J2RE) will suffice. This version does not contain a compiler or source code for the underlying classes, but does contain all the necessary support for executing Java 2D applications.
