As a standard extension, the JavaHelp software will be delivered separately from the JDK to enable faster upgrades that incorporate new features and bug fixes while maintaining ease in integrating with JDK 1.1 and 1.2. Standard Extensions are packages of Java classes that application developers can use to extend the functionality of the core platform. JDK 1.2 provides an extension mechanism that allows the Java virtual machine* (VM) to use the extension classes in much the same way as the VM uses the (core) system classes. Back to top.
