Foil 35 Using objects from Java packages

From Use of Java Language in Computational Science DoD Modernization Users Group Conference Monterey -- June 7 99. by Nancy McCracken, Geoffrey C. Fox


Suppose that you want to use two Buttons in an applet. The Button class is in the package java.awt. java.awt.Button b1 = new java.awt.Button( "label" ); All objects created this way are represented internally as references.
Or you can more succintly use the import statement to open the context of the package java.awt:
import java.awt.*;
public class MyApplet extends java.applet.Applet
{ public void init ( )
{ Button b1 = new Button ( "start");
Button b2 = new Button ( "stop");
. . . b1.setLabel ( "pause");
}
}
This calls the class constructor method Button to create the new instance and initialize the label .
