Just installed J2SE 1.3.1_02, want Java Swing

Question

I installed version 1.3.1_02 SE and tried a simple application using Swing extentions. Received compiler errors for Swing classes. Something like can't resolve JLabel, JFrame, etc. Also, I can't find swing.jar on my system. Can someone help me resolve this?

Answer 1

He is trying to get the archive with the JavaDocs, they were removed from the site.
Try downloading and using the javadocs from the JDK 1.4 instead (and get a lot of compilation errors when using new APIs - check the @since tags in the javadoc... )
Another alternative is:
Unzip the 1.3 sources (they are in src.zip) and use the javadoc tool (preferably from the 1.4 version, because the javadoc tool from the 1.3 can not recursively get the packages - you will have to specify the packages yourself if using the javadoc tool from 1.3) to regenerate the HTML files. (You will need a machine with 512MB of memory or more, and some CPU hours.) The src.zip has not the package.html files, so the generated javadocs will not be exactly equal to the original javadoc files.
I believe that some IDEs like Oracle jDeveloper 9 have the javadocs from 1.3. Maybe someone has archived the javadocs from 1.3.
