What is the Java Language Model?
The Java Language Model is an abstract description of the Java programming language. The language model defines the syntax and semantics of the language. For example, it is the language model that specifies that all functions must be members of some class. |

I already have this book, what other information exists?
An excellent companion to this book is available on the web at http://www.ergnosis.com/java-spec-report/java-language/index.html. This unofficial site (maintained by Roly Perera and Peter Bertelsen) has proven to be an excellent source of errata for several of Sun's "official" publications. In particular, the clarifications to the Language Specification (the subject of this product) are absolutely top-notch. |

Do I need this book to use jfront rawjava™?
No, the documentation for jfront rawjava™ fully describes the parsing library's API. However, this information is more difficult to learn without a thorough understanding of underlying language model. Since this book is the definitive technical reference for the Java programming language, jfront inc. recommends that it be used as a companion to jfront rawjava™. Even if you decide not to purchase jfront rawjava™, this book provides excellent insight to a facinating topic. |
