I have seen many posts on this subject, so I am sorry to flog the question,
but I need a simple answer...

Working with JBuilder 2.0 and com.sun.java.swing...
Looking to move to javax.swing...
Tried, but the designer is not very interested in the 2.0/javax mix
Pushing hard to get the 2.01 upgrade on the basis that this must fix the
problem.
Two problems:
  First it seems hard to get the Upgrade in Europe (Inprise dosn't want to
send it to Europe, says try reseller and reseller says not very interesting
to import a $10 product). I think we need to look at this in the future guys
and just let us download it, even if it is painful.
 Second, the news group seems to be saying that 2.01 and javax is not a
great mix either..

So..simple question:

Do we stay with com.sun.java.swing for a while or is there a real mix that
works. and...
assuming that we stay with com.sun.java.swing for a while, how long should
we expect the while to be?

I am already guessing that to we should wait and that nobody is going to
commit to the timing, but I had to try ;-)

P.S. I really don't want to get into any name calling between Javasoft and
JBuilder about finalizing the package names, I am happy in the "Rest of the
World" vs "Microsoft" and don't want to see the "Rest of the World" team
getting into internal fights!  Strike all that, what I meant to say was I am
happy with having an alternative to the monopoly ;-)
