Documentation

All of our documentation for Java(tm) and HotJava(tm) is available at this Web site. We have moved to a model where the documentation is unbundled from the release. It is accessed through URL pointers from within the release. Another source of these documents is our FTP site.

We are very much aware of the need to provide our documentation in a universally printable, platform-independent format. We know that PostScript does not work for everyone. We are working on this and will provide a new format as soon as we can.
