Microsoft have discontinued their Java SDK for a multitude of reasons,
some having to do with Sun and some having to do with the fact it's
incompatible (command line wise etc.) with "normal" JDKs from Sun and
IBM.

But if you have the MS JVM installed, run "clspack -auto" and look in
the Windows\Java tree for a classes.zip containing the Microsoft
classes. You can compile using any Java compiler with these, remember
to target 1.1.x though. To run you will still need Microsoft's jview
launcher or run as applet in IE.

Google for "Visual J++" (Microsoft's Java SDK). May be you can still
download it from somewhere. But I think it is a dead horse since 1999.
