You probably should try latest CVS. There was a huge amount of progress
in the Swing package in the meantime.

Bleah. It's not that this is a JDK1.5 feature which is missing, it is an
unspecified class that is used by this program or maybe eclipse. We do
not provide classes in the com.sun namespace. Maybe file a bugreport to
Eclipse or this program that they should not use such classes if they
want to produce portable code.

A full stacktrace would surely help to find out if this is Eclipse's
failure or from the program.

Very nice indeed!
