When you get a new JFC drop you can make a library for it and drag
that libray to the top of the list.  Creating the library will make
the dependencies.

If you don't do it via a library you'll get some compiler warnings
about assuming that the package is stable -- no big deal there.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
