how to use Java.util, swing, the library packages?

[ADO]

Hello,

I tried to use : import Java.util.*
but then inside the program the compilor can not find
the some name like DoubleGenerator...

I guess the reason is that I did not set the correct classpath, so I can not use swing, util and so on.

If that is the reason I think I have to add one expression
like set ClassPath=c:\jdk1.3\...don't know
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

But what will the classpath supposed to be, any other reason for
this frustrating problem?

I really apprecite your help
Regards
Ado

When you go in dos command prompt, type
path c:\jdk1.3\bin
javac

in autoexec.bat file add
after existing other paths, if it is the last path do not put ;leave it open so windows can see other paths

To check and see if the classpath is set properly, you can type "set" without the quotes at a command prompt.


Swing and the other standard packages are located in a directory that java searches for automatically. You should be able to import them with no problem.


Maybe you could post the code you are having problems with and the tek-tip crews could take a look at it.

i notice you typed
I tried to use : import Java.util.*
i hope what you meant was
[tt]import java.util.*;[/tt]
an anoying thing is that the standard packages have lowercase letters yet the classes have the first letter capital
