Win95b     Swing1-1beta3       JDK1.1.7A   (since Swing1-1beta3 does
not work with Win32 JDK1.2beta4)

When will Sun have ONE Java ( write once, run everywhere) ?  No it's
not the browser makers fault !

Since JOptionPane does not work with Win32 JDK1.2(anything), I'm going
back (downgrading to improve - a new Java concept) to Java 1.1 (which
they say has fixed Win32 JOptionPane - which by the way Sun did fix -
well almost fixed. I think it would be nice if JOptionPane adjusted
the frame size by title not just by message, but at least it does work
now !  )  Gosh, Java 1.1 now has a messageBox, a great achievement
just think what tomorrow will bring ?

Anyway does anyone else have focus troubles ?

Seems like one component after another forgets to transfer or grab
focus with these new
betas.   Even SwingSet comes up with no components on each tab panel
until I tab to each components tab location. Then when I back tab to
the tab panel's name then some if not all the components on the tab
panel disappear again.  I like Java but I never get anything done -
just seems like I'm only a beta to beta bug chaser.

Even with just a little JFrame with one or two buttons - where's the
focus now ?

Anyone else using the same OS and JDKs without these constant JAVA
blues (betas) ?

Anyone have any demos of  swing products that work - in house or not ?

Maybe Monday will be better <G> !

Thanks,
JLW
