Getting Started with Swing: Examples

#### Compiling and Running the Examples Locally

> The second column in the table below has links to zip files for each demo that you can open and run in the NetBeans IDE. Refer to Running Tutorial Examples in NetBeans IDE for more information.

> You can get all of the source, image, and other files required for all these examples by downloading the Swing 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. All of the examples in the Swing tutorial are placed in a package. For example, the components examples are placed in a `components` package. See the following image for the complete structure. Note that any examples using images expect their image files to be in a directory named `images` that's in the same directory as the example's src files.

> Example | Source Files | Zip File (contains all files necessary for the example plus NetBeans IDE project metadata) | Image & Other Files | Where Described
> HelloWorldSwing | Hello World Swing Project | `HelloWorldSwing.java` |  | Compiling and Running Swing Programs
