A .jar acts as a class directory, so you must include the file itself in the
classpath.
Let's say your classpath variable is specified in the file /etc/profile (which
is a script that is run
everytime someone logs on, which you probably allready knew), this line will
make the jdk "see"
the swing libraries:
export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/jre/lib/swing.jar"
You will, of course, have to replace /usr/loca/jre/lib with the location where
you have installed your swing.jar
file (or swingall.jar; depends on which one you chose; most people only need the
swing.jar, which is smaller).
setting the classpath directly will also work;
java -classpath $CLASSPATH:/usr/local/jre/lib/swing.jar TheClassYouWantToRun
By the way; you should use the Swing 1.1.1 release, it became non beta about a
month ago.
