    Until lately Java only provided AWT (that's Abstract Windowing Toolkit)
   - a class library that enables the devloper to design forms and
    window-elements. The visible components are handled by the underlying
    platform but are very simple and not sufficient for serious application
    programming. That's why Sun has written a new class-library, which
    codename is Swing. It is provided here as a single .zip-file (containing
    swing.jar).  Required for Family Tree for Java ftree-java-0_0_20.zip

Those are all that is needed to run Family Tree for Java on OS/2 or Linux or
WinXX or MAC.
