Is it possible to use JBuilder 2 without Swing? I started working with our current project in JBuilder 1. I saw that there was a new version of JBuilder (JBuilder 2) and upgraded. Suddenly everything had changed (no backwardscompatibility there). Swing was introduced to me. I was using JBCL controls and now those required Swing because I'm working with an applet and I was forced to use JApplet instead of Applet to make it work. I had to rearrange a lot. I had to use different controls because of the Lightweight - heavyweight issues. After making my applet "compatible" with JBuilder 2 I discovered that the jar-archive became way too big for an archive (2 MB). I wish there was a way of using JBuilder 2 without Swing. I've read in several posts that Swing is not for applets. But if I want to make an applet? What do I do then? Switch back to JBuilder 1? I really didn't want to do that because that version was even buggier to work with. So I decided to use the JBCL archives from JBuilder 1. Then I didn't have to use Swing. Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble to make an applet with a decent size on the jar-file? Isn't JBuilder 2 for applets? Just for applications? /Christer
