Hello,
Swing is part of Java2 but is not included in the MRJs for MacOS 9
which run, at most, java 1.1.8.

It can be installed following the instructions given here in the Mac
section :

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jdk.html You need to upgrade to OS X
to get the latest Java. Mac OS supports only up to 1.1.8, pre Swing.

Java 1.1.8 isn't "pre-Swing" -- it's just the last release before Sun
started _including_ Swing in the JRE API.

Swing started to become available in around Java 1.1.6. Back then it
had the old "com.sun.swing" packaging. However, there are add-on Swing
libraries for Java 1.1.8 that use the newer "javax.swing" packaging.

Swing 1.1.1 is now considered "legacy" code, but you can still download
it from Sun via:

HTH!

At least since 1.1.5. I recall because MS's VM was frozen at 1.1.4, and
missed many of the slew of bug fixes that made Swing nicer in 1.1.5.

Later Sun worked around much of them, IIRC.
