Using Swing

[KevinWeav]

I have downloaded 1.3.0_02 and am told this comes with Swing, but all the Swing examples I try do nothing (none swing examples work). Where is swing to be found? And if it's not there what do I do?

what do you mean they don't work? what are you doing to try to run them?

I'm opening the html file in my browser. This works for all the non-Swing examples, but for the Swing ones I just get a nice grey area and nothing else.

OK, the problem is your browser, it probably doesn't support SWING. What you will need to do is either use Java's own appletviewer program (I think it is located in the Bin folder) or you will need to download the 1.3 HTML converter from the Java website and run it over the supplied html files.

It is a quick process to convert an HTML file, but is still a pain in the butt.
