Trail: Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing
Lesson: Using Other Swing Features

Using Other Swing Features: Examples (1.4)

The table that follows lists every 1.4 example in the Using Other Swing Features lesson, with links to required files and to where each example is discussed. The first column of the table has links to JNLP files that let you run the examples using JavaTM Web Start.

Version Note: Although these examples use the 1.4 API, many of them can be compiled and run in 1.3 if you remove the call to setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated. To see earlier versions of most of these examples, go to the 1.1/1.2 example list (in the Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing trail).

To run an example using Java Web Start, click the [Run] 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 have trouble using Java Web Start, see Installing and Using Java Web Start (in the Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing trail).

Compiling and Running the Examples Locally


Note: Examples are applications unless noted otherwise. See Getting Started with Swing (in the Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing trail) for details about releases and instructions on compiling and running programs.
You can get the source, image, and other files required for all these examples by downloading the Tutorial Examples bundle (outside of the tutorial), which contains the files in the correct hierarchy. If you download an individual example, take care to have all the necessary files in the proper hierarchy when you compile and run it. For example, many examples expect their image files to be in a directory named images that's in the same directory as the example's class 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.
