> Hi, everyone. I'm trying to learn Java programming recently and found a course from stanford university on itunes u. The course uses acm library and seems its built in to their version of eclipse. The course was recorded back in 2007, I java changed a lot over this period and I'm just curious is this a obsolete thing or some kind of tradition in standford computer science or there's some kind of benefit in this library? is there a equivalent in the current standard java library? Thanks

The latest page for the JTF that I can find:
<http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~eroberts/jtf/>

You don't mention a title or give a link to the course you mention.

 From what I can find all of the courses that use this library advertise
"Learn Programming" rather than "Learn Java".
