Can any of [you] please point to a rigt site to download jdk1.1.5
and swing.
Chetan,
Sure. As Sorin Lingureanu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recently posted, you can
download these RPMs:
for RedHat 4.2:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/i386/jdk-1.1.5-8.i386.rpm
for RedHat 5.0:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-1.1.5-7.i386.rpm
More general "tar" archives, which are just as convenient, are found
via Karl Asha's mirror page:
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html
Either way, you need to make sure that your system is updated with the
latest fixes (especially libc and ld) described under "Errata" from
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/
You may also wish to get your X server and libraries directly from
ftp.xfree86.org since theirs is compiled with internationalization
support and I observed that RedHat's wasn't.
To work with Swing (or any other pure Java package), simply download
whatever archive is most convenient for you, unpack it, and get it
into your CLASSPATH as its instructions suggest. As you know,
JFC is found at http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/
I would download the Solaris/Gzipped version.
