Javas equivalent of C .h files

What would the the Java equivalent of .h files for C be?I'm just looking for a name/tag so I can look it up.

Hmmm, not even something that I can use to declare what functions are mandatory?

Mandatory for what?Maybe you're looking for Javadoc documentation.

In some ways implementing interfaces might constitute a means for what you want to do - this enables you to establish what is called a contract of sorts.

Anyway... What are you trying to do? What is your goal? Looking for C analogies is not the best approach to programming in Java ;-)

Well I used to like .h files because you would name the function prototypes (just remembered the name), and you would have a nice overview of what variables/functions were contained within each class.

So yea my goal is to make my code as readable as possible. Perhaps the interface mentioned will work....I am going to research.Thanks

Yeah it is not clear, OP, if you mean to enforce or merely inform.

You do know what javadoc is? Here's the javadoc for JSE 6:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html
It's generated from source code.

Get an IDE with code collapse.
