IDE Integrated Development Environment. A complete suite of tools for developing a program with a graphical front end. At the very least an IDE will include an editor, a compiler and a debugger. In Java this represents a 32-bit signed integer value. An interface specifies how an object is supposed to behave without specifying how it is supposed to accomplish that behavior.
Interfaces can inherit traits from multiple parent interfaces via the 'extends' keyword.
Interfaces are defined in '.java' files. See also 'class' J2ME Java 2 Micro Edition. A subset of the Java language aimed at portable devices and embedded systems such as cell phones. See the Sun site for info. There can be only one 'public' class or interface defined per .java file.
