Getting Started with Swing: Examples

Compiling and Running the Examples Locally

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.

Example	Zip File (contains all files necessary for the example plus NetBeans IDE project metadata)	Source Files	Image & Other Files	Where Described
HelloWorldSwing	Hello World Swing Project	HelloWorldSwing.java		Compiling and Running Swing Programs
