'J' Suffix and Swing

[curtissumpter]

Is it safe to assume that any object that is preceded with the letter 'J' is a member of the Swing package? Just trying to get lightweight versus heavyweight components sorted properly.

Thanks.

It's mostly, but not all, Swing. Here are the J's

assuming this could get you into a lot of unknown problems when using an openSource package. any Joe-with-the-hat can create an object and decide to name it JPassEncryptor, JCountTheCows or whatever name comes up to him that covers the load :) .

Good point. I hadn't even thought about all of the classes/packages that aren't written by Sun.

P.S. Prefix, not Suffix. ;-)
