Printable Documents

Complete PostScript^TM and PDF versions of the above books are supplied on the CD-ROM of the product. These files are located in the docs directory at the common root of the CD-ROM. This directory also contains a PDF version of the full Java Dynamic Management Kit API generated by Javadoc using the MIF (maker interchange format) doclet. The MIF doclet formats the Javadoc API for the printed page, providing an automated conversion of the Javadoc appearance into a PDF file that preserves all of the cross-referencing.
