Can't find javax.* and other "extra" packages

[Hal Vaughan]

I'm using JDK 1.4.1 for Java 2. According to the API docs, I can use javax
packages, but when I add:

import javax.crypto;

I get an error that it can't find the package. Is there some special way to
get javax packages? According to a web page at Sun, the crypto is supposed
to be included with 1.4. (That's how they write it -- no 1.4.1 or 1.4.2,
just written as 1.4.)

And, along with this, I've found references to a java.mail API. I can't
find anything like that documented in the JDK references. Where can I find
this package? It would be a huge help to have that instead of having to
write my own POP3/SMTP routines.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Maybe you want:

import javax.crypto.*;

which will import all the classes inside the package. You can't just
import a package on its own.

Okay. The error message said, "package javax does not exist" so I thought
it refered specifically to javax, but once I fixed it like you suggested,
it worked fine. (I had also seen some documentation that indicated
javax.crypto was a package all by itself.)

Thanks. It works fine now!
