Here is an answer to both of your questions :
1.) prior to Java2(AKA JDK1.2) all swing components where contained in the
*com.sun.java.swing* package in the swing.jar file which you are referring
to( swing.jar , swingall.jar ).
In Java2 all of the swing components where made standard extensions , that
is
they are now contained in *javax.swing.* package and are found in the rt.jar
along with the JDK\JRE .
Thus there is no longer a swing.jar in JAVA2. The instructions you found on
sun's web site
referred to using the swing components in NAV 4.5 with the swing releases
prior to JAVA2.
2.) Definition BOA - Basic Object Adapter
Definition POA - Portable Object Adapter
OMG , in CORBA 2.x specification deprecated the BOA because ORB implement
ors could not agree upon or implemented the BOA interface differently
making it almost impossible to use an object developed for IONA's OrbixWeb with
Visigenic's ORB. To remedy this incompatibility OMG
specified POA for CORBA 2.x compliant ORBs and as the name implies is
compatible across
all CORBA 2.x ORBs.
Lastly the OMG packages are also contained in the rt.jar file in Java2 and
are at least CORBA 2.x
compliant.
