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). So, if you rename from com.sun.* to javax.swing.*, all your UI L&F code gets the new name which is the wrong name in the new hierarchy. I'm not sure how well it handles other ambiguities created by javax based on your imports. For example, if you have an import java.util.* and a java.awt.* and a reference to a List object in the code, you have an automatic ambiguity in your code after the rename. -Rich Jeroen Zwartepoorte wrote: > > Hi, > > Can i recompile the dbSwing source (after running PackageRenamer to > convert the "import com.sun.java.swing.*;" to "import javax.swing.*") > and then distribute that with my jdk1.2 application? > > Right now, when i try to use dbSwing components with jdk1.2 it > complaints that it can't find the com.sun.java.swing package. > > Do we have to recompile it ourselves?
