Java 2D used to be a separate library and is now included in the java core
libraries. It adds a lot of functionality and can be hard to work with unless you have a
guide. This book is the best of the 2D books out there. I tried to do 2D without this book
and did a lot of struggling. The book made things seem pretty simple.(trailboss Jan 2000)
