Until JDK 1.2 arrives for Linux you include the path to swing.jar in your
CLASSPATH explicitly a la
export SWING_HOME=/usr/local/swing-1.1-beta3
export CLASSPATH=.${SWING_HOME}/swingall.jar

I'm having some problems to install swing-1.1beta3 on RH5.2.
1. I installed jdk in /java/jdk117_v1a/
2. I downloaded swing11-beta3.tar.z into /java
3. tar xvzf swing11-beta3.tar.z created directory /java/swing-1.1beta3 + 60
html files own by user uucp and group 143.
4. I added the following lines to .bash_profile for user /home/wdacruz:
PATH:/java/swing-1.1beta3:$PATH
CLASSPATH=.
SWING_HOME=/java/swing-1.1beta3
export PATH CLASSPATH SWING_HOME
5. wdacruz env shows:
...
PATH=/java/swing-1.1beta3:/java/jdk117_v1a/bin:....
SWING_HOMEL=/java/swing-1.1beta3
...
6. I tested swingapplication.java that start:
import javax.swing.*; // This is the final packge name.
// import com.sun.java.swing.*; // Used by JDK 1.2 Beta 4 and all
// Swing releases before Swing 1.1 Beta 3.
...
7. javac swingapplication.java
I got the error message: Package javax.swing not found in import
import javax.swing.*;
^
JDK1.1.7_v1a works fine, but the compiler does not find the swing
package. What I am doing wrong? Did I installed swing-1.1beta3 in the
wrong d
