Trouble with MIDI, no javax.sound.*?? 1

[TeknomanSlade]

Now, mind you, it's been over a year since I've really
thrown myself into writing Java code, so this is probably
my own fault somehow...

Anyways, I just got the latest SDK because I'd heard they
started adding in some nice new features. So I get it
installed and decide I'm gonna try writing something that
can play a MIDI file.

Now, all the docs I've seen say to import javax.sound.midi
or whatever you need from the javax.sound area...

So I try to compile my code and this is what it says...

Playmidi.java:2: package javax.sound does not exist
import javax.sound.*;
^

It also bombed out with more errors involving all the
references to "Sequence", "Sequencer", 'ya know, stuff
pertaining to MIDI...

I've un/reinstalled already and it still refuses to compile
this code.

Any ideas?

Just to eliminate the obvious ... did you download and install the separate sound jars?

In the latest sdk (1.4.1) there is no package javax.sound, you must import javax.sound.midi.*; There are also other packages like javax.sound.midi.spi that you may find interesting.
