Do you have an explicity references for obtaining and installing > Swing components to work with this release of JDK 1.1.8? Sun releases a version on their WWW site explicitly for JDK1.1. That version works better (faster, less bugs) than the version in JDK1.2 for numerous reasons outlined by the Swing folks at Sun, mostly related to the fact that it's easier to update stuff that's third party (Swing is integrated in JDK1.2) and JDK1.1 doesn't do Java2D, which causes a *huge* performance hit (2-5X for *anything/everything*).
