(was Re: Don't upgrade IDE's version to Swing 1.1 Beta)

That's great but that defeats the purpose of an IDE. Swing 1.1 has features
that won't compile under 1.0.3, so you can't just use it for development and
switch to 1.1 for production (assuming you are using 1.2 because it has new
features you want to make use of).

I didn't grasp the significance of "my help system won't work" in the original
message...I just installed swing 1.1beta2 into Jbuilder 2--it compiles and runs
fine, but I get a big old error when I try to access the help system at
all...for example clicking on "Help topics". Does anyone know what the deal is
here or if there is a work around?

I installed swing 1.1Beta2 the same way that I installed swing1.0.3 using tips
posted here and that has been working fine for weeks.
