Can't compile Java Swing Applet with javac

chansky · 09-20-2002, 02:41 PM

I'm having problems in compiling any Swing Applets with javac. I get the error message of "Package javax.swing not found in import." I'm currently using JDK2.

I can compile any applets using AWT but no luck with Swing Applets.

However, I don't get the same problem with Swing Applets in Windows 98 using the same JDK2.

Any ideas?

Don't tell me Linux is not as good as Windows.

"Don't tell me Linux is not as good as Windows." why on earth should we say that? I call your comment a silly thing

do you think there would be anyone here if we thought windows was better????

well the error message says it didn't find it in the import... did you import it? is it in your classpath?

hi Chris,

yes, i have "import javax.swing.*" in my source file. But I don't know how to check my classpath. Any advices?

echo $CLASSPATH

if u didn't set the classpath it should point to your j2sdk anyway i guess. is there a directory javax/swing? both should be
chmod 0755
u know what i mean?
i have no better idea by now...
