JAVA ACTIVATOR RELEASE 2 EARLY ACCESS.  Designed so developers can deploy
JDK(tm) 1.1-based applets for Windows and Solaris users on intranet web
pages, and provides support for both Internet Explorer 3.02 or later and
Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later.  To download, see:

http://java.sun.com/jdc/earlyAccess/index.html


JAVA FOUNDATION CLASSES(JFC) 0.7 EARLY ACCESS.  Contains the API
specification, documentation, sample code, and a demo.  The Swing 0.7
release contains improved menu implementation, significant changes to the
table and accessibility APIs, and bug fixes.  Note:  JFC supports JDK 1.1.2
or higher.  To access, see:

http://java.sun.com/jdc/earlyAccess/index.html


JAVA ACCESSIBILITY API 0.7 EARLY ACCESS.  Ensures that the Accessibility
API is easily extensible, and simplifies implementation for third-party
component developers.  Note:  This download works only with the JDK 1.1
compatible version of Swing 0.7.  To access, see:

http://java.sun.com/jdc/earlyAccess/index.html


JAVA CRYPTOGRAPHY EXTENSION (JCE) 1.2 EARLY ACCESS.  Provides a framework
for encryption and key negotiation, and includes interfaces and
implementations of secure Java streams, key generation, and symmetric,
asymmetric, block, and stream ciphers.  JCE 1.2 is designed so that other
cryptography libraries can be plugged in as service providers, and new
algorithms can be added seamlessly.  JCE 1.2 supplements JDK 1.2, which
includes interfaces and implementations of message digests and digital
signatures.  Note:  JCE 1.2 requires that JDK 1.2 be installed, and
download is restricted to the US and Canada.  For more information, see:

hand-held computers, and Internet "web phones."  Also announced is the beta
release of Personal WebAccess, a compact web browser for devices that run
the PersonalJava platform.  For more information, see:
