Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4 introduced many new features to Java, including new input/output, logging, regular expressions, and assertions. While often overlooked by enterprise-focused programmers because these technologies weren't included in J2EE proper, they live in the Java core under J2EE and have a broad and important impact on enterprise developers.
In this series, Java expert Jason Hunter introduces you to the most important new J2SE 1.4 capabilities, explains the purpose of each new feature, walks you through examples so you can start using the features right away in your projects.
