How can i get javax.swing

[alarcon.rodrigo]

Hello, i'm new to java programming and i'm need some tips. First of
all i had downloaded and installed the jdk1.6.0_03 and installed also
JCreator Pro, but i need to user the javax.swing library.... where can
i download that library? is the jdk1.6.0_03 the correct stuff to
create swing applications or should i get the J2SE 1.4.2_13?

Thnx in advance!

javax.swing.* is part of the JDK.

javax.swing.* is part of the JDK.

Much thnx for the answer, actually i was getting some compile error
because i was doing an "import java.swing", not "import javax.swing".
I know it a lame error but since I'm a total newb on java, some things
are not so obvious to me

Acid,

Yeah, we all had to start somewhere; no worries! You should check out
docjar.com; it's a great resource even for those of us who've done Java
programming for years.

Gosh, don't download 1.4, it's in its End-of-Life phase. Java 6 is the
current version; don't waste your time with an obsolescent version.

Have you read the verbiage on the Java web site about what the JDK is versus
what the JRE is?

current version; don't waste your time with an obsolescent version.

Further to that, JDK 1.4 can develop apps suitable
for Java with a minimum version of 1.1 -> 1.4.
JDK 1.6 can develop apps suitable for Java with a
minimum version of 1.1 -> 1.6.

If you want to use generics or beyond, use the latest JDK
(and if you don't - no drama).

This is surprising. A good idea will tell you that "import java.swing"
isn't found before you compile. And it will add the correct import for
you, and remove ones that you aren't using.

Dump that lame JCreator and get NetBeans.

IDE? A good IDE is perhaps a good idea, but
they are not the same thing!

As I see it, only 2 things are really needed to fix
the problem.
- Understanding the compiler error, and (possibly)
- Access to the JavaDocs.

[ Though I would expect a good IDE to hook the
JavaDocs 'directly into' the debug messages/code. ]

Yeah not sure what happened there. I did mean IDE. Maybe the spelling
checker got me...
