Getting Started with Swing: Examples (5.0)

The table that follows lists every 5.0 example in the Getting Started with Swing 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 Java^TM Web Start.

---

Version Note: Although these examples use the 5.0 API, many of them can be compiled and run in 1.4 if you change calls of frame.setLayout and frame.add to frame.getContentPane().setLayout and frame.getContentPane().add. To see earlier versions of these examples, go to the 1.4 example list.

---

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.

You can get the source, image, and other files required for all these examples by downloading the Tutorial Examples bundle, 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.

Example	Source Files	Image & Other Files	Where Described
HelloWorldSwing	HelloWorldSwing.java		Compiling and Running Swing Programs
HelloJWS [Run]	HelloJWS.java		Compiling and Running Swing Programs
