Hi, What Rchard says is right, you could mocha to decompile it and change the package name with the sun tool, but as he says not everything moved into javax. This really is not an option for the faint of heart, and you will have to invest quite an amount of time for it. Rather push Richard to do it ;-) (gentle nugdge Richard) Regards Steve Richard Wilkman wrote: > Jeroen: > > It's not that simple as you don't have all the source (where it dives > into dataset, etc.). > > One other cause for that particular method is that I don't think > package renamer is aware of the exceptions to the renaming in JFC. > For example, almost everything moved to javax, but L&F stuff didn't > (and some was moved to a different deliverable).
