Swing is part of the core in JDK1.2; the Swing classes no longer live in
a separate file.
If you're looking to run 1.2 applets in a browser, you need to 1) wait
for 1.2 to appear in browsers, or 2) use the JDK1.2 plugin, which is
available on some platforms (NT and Sun, and maybe some others). If all
you're looking to do is run 1.1 applets with Swing, Sun makes 1.1
versions of Swing available -- that's where you'll find swing.jar. It's
pure Java, so getting and using swing.jar with your browser doesn't
involve the Blackdown code at all.
There is one place you can run 1.2 applets today: the appletview that
comes with the JDK. And there's one mystery browser: I don't know where
HotJava is with 1.2 support.
