Com.sun.* Not Found only in NetBeans - Javac finds them fine!

Question

I am not sure what is up with this, but NetBeans will not let me specify anything from the com.* packages. It shows the packages in the auto-type boxes as I type in the name (com.sun.blahblahblah) but highlights the statement with a red underline and states 'Package not found".
Just to let it be known, I have a look-and-feel demo java file downloaded from the net that compiled perfect and runs as expected, and it makes much use of the com.sun.* packages. And I can run NetBeans with the --laf command line option and it will run using any of the LAF's in the com.* packages itself, but still not see them in the IDE for coding use ><
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I just popped in what you wrote, and another thing just for giggles:
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder;
import com.sun.crypto.provider.*;and they threw no errors. Why is it that my laf is throwing errors when they are plainly there?
Example -
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
         try {
           UIManager.setLookAndFeel(getText());
           SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(
             ChangingLaF.this);
           // call myFrame.pack()
           // to resize frame for laf
         } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
           // insert code to handle this exception
         } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
           // insert code to handle this exception
         } catch (InstantiationException e) {
           // insert code to handle this exception
         } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
           // insert code to handle this exception
         }This is the code I got off the net, this + a bit more to the .java file of course, compiles perfect with javac. The programmer used the package path com.sun.blahblah as the radiobutton text, that is what the UIManager.setLookAndFeel(getText()); getText() nonsense is. But other than that I see no reason an erro should be thrown in netbeans over UIManager.setLookAndFeel(com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel);
I did try it with quotes though as a previous post recomended and got this message:
init:
deps-jar:

E:\Java Apps\Calendar\src\Main\MainFrame.java:283: unreported exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
