| Java 1.4 Swing Class Documentation Inverted Index |
The inverted index for the Java 1.4 Swing class documentation has been created to help you find classes that are related to certain concepts. In particular, you can look up a word in the inverted index, and find all the classes whose description mention that word.
For example, let's assume you need to find classes that have something to do with building raster images. You would go to the R section of the inverted index, and scroll down looking for the word 'raster' in boldface type. Alternatively, you could use the word list page to jump right to the correct section of the inverted index.
The inverted index was used for Unix documentation since the days of Unix Version 6, or perhaps even earlier. It provides a simple and easy way to do keyword searching, without the latency of a true search engine.
At the time the inverted index was generated, the base URL of a full Java 1.4 Swing documentation set was supplied. This base URL is used to compute a full URL for the class documentation for all the Java 1.4 Swing classes and package in the HTML that the index generator doclet writes out.
Sure! This inverted index was generated by a simple Javadoc Doclet. If you have the JDK 1.2.1 or later, then you have a version of Javadoc that can use this doclet. Mail to Neal Ziring to obtain a copy of the doclet, or search for the term 'Inverted Index Doclet' in your favorite Java-oriented resource directory.
