Thanks for your suggestion, but I think the CLASSPATH variable on my system
is properly set (which includes
swingall.jar), otherwise I can't compile a file that refer to Swing classes.
My CLASSPATH is:

CLASSPATH=.:/JAVA/jdk1.1.6/lib/classes.zip:/JAVA/swing-1.0.3/swingall.jar

 I include the example file that I want to compile here:

 package JFCBook.Chapter2;

import com.sun.java.swing.*;

public class BasicFrame {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Simple Frame");
        f.setSize(250, 200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

When I compile this file, there is no error message. But when I run it using
'java BasicFrame'
it says 'Can't find class BasicFrame'. Have you ever experience this before?
Thanks for time.
