• Enterprise Interoperability

  The addition of RMI/IIOP and the Java Naming and Directory Interface^TM in J2SE 1.3.0 enhance the interoperability of the Java 2 Platform.

• Security Advances

  New support for RSA electronic signing, dynamic trust management, X.509 certificates, and verification of Netscape-signed files mean more ways for developers to protect their electronic data.

• Java Sound

  J2SE 1.3.0 includes a powerful new sound API. Previous releases of the platform limited audio support to basic playback of audio clips. With this release, the Java 2 Platform defines a set of standard classes and interfaces for low-level audio support.

• Enhanced APIs and Improved Ease of Development

  In response to requests from the development community, J2SE 1.3.0 adds new features to various areas of the Java 2 Platform. These features expand the functionality of the platform to enable development of more powerful applications. In addition, many of the new features make the development process itself faster and more efficient.
