Error: The import java.swing cannot be resolved [in drJava]

Hello, I decided to make an applet in java and wanted to use drJava for it. I installed the program and the JDK. Then, after making a code to start from, I ran into a problem.

This is the code:

Code :

---

import java.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
 
public class FirstAppletDrawing extends Applet{
 public void paint (Graphics page){
  setBackground (Color.cyan); //background color
 
  page.setColor (Color.gray); //Robot head color
  page.drawRec (3,4,20,20); //Robot head
 }
}

When I try to compile it, the first error I get is: Error: The import java.swing cannot be resolved

I thought that I may be doing something wrong, so I decided to try and make a simpler program:

Code :

---

public class Simple{
  public static void main (Strings[] args){
    int future = 5;
    int past = 1;
    int present = future - past;
 
    System.out.println("Our future is " + future + ", our past is " + past +
                       ", and our present is" + present);
  }
}

When I tried to compile that, I go this: Error: Strings cannot be resolved to a type

And that's basically from the book. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

java.swing

Here's the issue: the swing package isn't in the java package, it's in the javax package. So, you need to import swing from javax, not java. :)

I don't know what's causing that...



Edit: Sorry for the double post; don't know why that happened...

Thanks! I started looking though the two and found the little problems! Your solution was a great hint!

That's good! Good luck on your program! :)
