There are some conventions we'll use that you should know about. When we've added a new piece of code and are discussing it, it'll appear in bold face, and when there's more code to come, you'll see three dots. Here's what that looks like: Listener listener = new Listener( ) { public void handleEvent(Event event) { ToolItem item = (ToolItem)event.widget; String string = item.getText( ); . . . } }; We'll also use the standard convention for selecting menu items in this book; for example, to create a new project in Eclipse, you use the File New Project menu item. The following typographical conventions are used in this book: -
