Conventions

In this book you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code will be set as follows:

<div style="overflow: auto; width: 270px; height:375px; padding:0px; margin: 0px">
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<col width=270>
<tr>
<td width=270 valign="top" nowrap>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items will be shown in bold:

// Global Forwards
public static final String GLOBAL_FORWARD_start = "start";
// Local Forwards
public static final String FORWARD_success = "success";

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

eclipse –clean

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in our text like this: "clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen".
