Aaaahhhhh, Schei**er!!
     
     
     
     Rainer you are quite correct:
     
     http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/CHANGES.txt-1.1beta3
     
     
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        For Xsql 2.1.7p01 you need Swing 1.1 beta 2 
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


and My documentation is kookoo!

But you may as well KEEP Swing/JFC 1.1 beta 3 around anyway, because I am going 
to upgrade and repackage the software in the next two weeks. Delay in fact to 
simultaneous introduce new features and bug fixes.

Sorry, it is very frustrating, but I though JavaSoft would not
introduce the package name changes until the final 1.2 version.
Meanwhile I will endeavour to update the documentation precisely
so that users dont experience this problem in the future.

  No. It's not the beta, it's not heaving read the README. ;-)
  
  Anyway ...
  
  Starting with swing 1.1 beta 3, the new package naming conventions are in use, 
  i.e. the swing packages are javax.swing.*  and no longer com.sun.java.swing.* 
  
  'Old' software need a swing package using the *old* package names, i.e.  any 
  1.0.x - version, or any 1.1 beta *before*  1.1b3.
