missing java swing libraries?

a1ghagh05t · 01-13-2004, 11:16 AM

Hey,
I just downloaded the java 1.4.2_03 sdk and put it on my redhat 9.0 box. I can go ahead and do basic stuff fine but the moment I try to use the swing libraries, javac throws a fit and says it can't find them and doesn't know what I'm talking about.
import javax.swing.* is what my line is...
where in the /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2 tree is the swing library?
is there somewhere where i can download the package seperately if need be? Thanks for any help.

try getting in the directory of the sdk and search for the javax folder..
(i think it was directly under src)...

I had the same problems when using ant 1.5.2, maybe you're using
also using this version? With ant 1.5.4 everything was fine ...
Ant 1.5.2 seems to exclude rt.jar (which contains javax.swing)
from the build-classpath when option build.sysclasspath is set to ignore.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem you described in the forum.
I installed jdk1.4.2 on Debian/Knoppix3.3
Cannot find javax.swing , cannot compile java programs containing swing classes.
Did you get any useful information?
I have tried for a while with no success.
Any hint will be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
