To run an example using Java Web Start, click the [Launch] link in the first column of the table. The first time you run an example, there will be a delay while Java Web Start downloads the JAR file containing the class files for this lesson's examples. Afterward, the examples should execute more quickly.
If you download an individual example,
take care to have all the necessary files
in the proper hierarchy when you compile and run it.
All of the examples in the Swing tutorial are placed in
a package. For example, the components examples are placed
in a components
package.
See the following image for the complete structure.
Note that any examples using images expect their image files
to be in a directory named images
that is in the same directory as the example's src files.
You can find out which files each example needs by consulting the
following table or by looking at the comments at the beginning of
each source file.
