The original form of this book is the LaTeX source code available from http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-java-2e/ and https://github.com/ChrisMayfield/ThinkJava2.

The illustrations were drawn using xfig (http://www.xfig.org/) and dia (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/). These tools are free and open-source.

Compiling the LaTeX source has the effect of generating a device-independent representation of the book, which can be converted to other formats and printed.

To compile the PDF version from source:

pdflatex thinkjava2.tex
pdflatex thinkjava2.tex
pdflatex thinkjava2.tex

The source code includes a Makefile that automates this process. On Linux, you may need to install texlive-latex-extra and texlive-fonts-recommended.

To build the HTML versions, the hevea package is required. Use the Makefile as follows:

make hevea    # static html
make trinket  # interactive
