Heh, I did it, I subscribed .. :) I'm writing an record database application in java using swing 1.03. and I have two problems. The first is not swing related - when I use my program and want to save my database - the linux jdk/jre doesn't ask for confirmations on overwrites, but when I run it with the windows jdk it does. I want it to ask no matter what platform I use, but if I implement a confirmation dialog myself, windows ask me twice! Where's the problem and how do I work around it. My second problem is importing swing classes. I have swing.jar and classes.zip in my classpath in both windows and linux. The line import com.sun.java.swing.*; works fine in windows but not in linux, when i try to compile it javac says: RecordDB.java:6: Package com.sun.java.swing not found in import. import com.sun.java.swing.*; I can only compile my app in windows, but I can run it in both windows an linux. Can any-one help me sort these "glitches" out?
