Now Hear This: Many Classes Are Renamed

In this release, many Swing classes have been renamed or have been relocated to subordinate packages. Consequently, this version of Swing -- Release 0.4 -- is effectively incompatible with Swing 0.3 and all other previous releases.

For developers who have written code using previous versions of Swing, we now provide a utility named ClassRenamer, which you can use to update Swing programs that were written using Swing's old class name.

To learn more about the ClassRenamer utility and to find out how to use it, see the "What's New" heading on the Introduction page.

As always, we must also warn you that this is still a preliminary developer edition of Swing, distributed only for your review and comments. You still should not base products on this Swing release. It still contains bugs, and and the API is still subject to change without warning.
