This course provides an overview of the advanced features of the java.lang and the java.util packages. The course details the methods of the System, Process, and Runtime classes in the java.lang package. You will learn to access runtime objects by using the classes in java.lang.reflect package. The course also deals with the classes in java.util.jar package. In addition, you will be able to perform input/output operations in jar files. Finally, you will learn how to use the methods in the Manifest class to manipulate the manifest file.

Advanced Features of java.lang & java.util Packages training covers such topics as:

Accessing Resources at Run Time
The Reflection Package
The jar Utility

Learn exactly what you need to know about the System class, the Process class and the Attributes class. You will interact with the run time environment by using the Runtime class, and describe the classes in java.lang.reflect package. You will be able to use reflected fields, methods, and constructors to operate on run time objects, and describe all the classes available in the java.util.jar package
