Trail: Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing
Lesson: Learning Swing by Example

## Learning Swing by Example: Examples (5.0)

> The table that follows lists every 5.0 example in the Learning Swing by Example lesson, with links to required files and to where each example is discussed. The first column of the table has links to JNLP files that let you run the examples using JavaTM Web Start. All the files needed by the examples are in this zip file: `learn-examples.zip`.

> > Version Note: Although these examples use the 5.0 API, many of them can be compiled and run in 1.4 if you change calls of `frame.setLayout` and `frame.add` to `frame.getContentPane().setLayout` and `frame.getContentPane().add`. To see earlier versions of these examples, go to the 1.4 example list.

> To run an example using Java Web Start, click the [Run] link in the first column of the table. The first time you run an example, there will be a delay while Java Web Start downloads the JAR file containing the class files for this lesson's examples. Afterward, the examples should execute more quickly. If you have trouble using Java Web Start, see Installing and Using Java Web Start.

> You can get the source, image, and other files required for all these examples by downloading the Tutorial Examples bundle, which contains the files in the correct hierarchy. If you download an individual example, take care to have all the necessary files in the proper hierarchy when you compile and run it. For example, many examples expect their image files to be in a directory named `images` that's in the same directory as the example's class files.

> You can find out which files each example needs by consulting the following table or by looking at the comments at the beginning of each source file.

> #### Table of Examples

> Example | Source Files | Image & Other Files | Where Described
> HelloWorldSwing [Run] | `HelloWorldSwing.java` |  | Example One: Your First Swing Program
> SwingApplication [Run] | `SwingApplication.java` |  | Example Two: `SwingApplication`
> CelsiusConverter [Run] | `CelsiusConverter.java` |  | Example Three: `CelsiusConverter`
> CelsiusConverter2 [Run] | `CelsiusConverter2.java` | `convert.gif` | Example Four: `CelsiusConverter2`
> LunarPhases [Run] | `LunarPhases.java` | Download all images at once: `lunar-img.zip` (zip file) or individually: `image0.jpg` `image1.jpg` `image2.jpg` `image3.jpg` `image4.jpg` `image5.jpg` `image6.jpg` `image7.jpg` | Example Five: `LunarPhases`
> VoteDialog [Run] | `VoteDialog.java` |  | Example Six: `VoteDialog`
