import java.swing.*; error - [SOLVED]

I get package java.swing does not exist. I am using BlueJ to test this sample and lo and behold it's not working for me. Is it not importing something correctly?

Code:

---

/* Wel.java
An applet to illustrate the display of a string
*/
import java.applet.*;
import java.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Wel extends JApplet
{
  // Create a content pane and a panel
  Container messageArea = getContentPane();
  MessagePanel myMessagePanel = new MessagePanel();

  // The init method adds the panel to the applet
  public void init()
  {
      messageArea.add( myMessagePanel );
  }
}

// The panel class on which the message is painted
class MessagePanel extends JPanel
{
  // The paintComponent method for this class
  public void paintComponent( Graphics grafObj )
  {
      grafObj.drawString( "Welcome to my home page!", 50, 50 );
  }
}

Got it, it's javax.swing. Thanks for looking.

Bluej sucks! One of my online classes is 'teaching' me Java using BlueJ. His instrcutions suck, he won't answer questions and he dislikes me because I informed him of his falure to provide adequet instruction. His reply was, "The poor instructions are not my fault, KVHS purchased them from Florida." Why would you purchase a class for programming from Florida, they can't even count!

Excuse my rant

So you dont like BlueJ because you have a rubbish instructor? If you are taught to programme using BlueJ by a good teacher then BlueJ is amazing. I am learning Java with BlueJ and i think is great, but only for beginners.

i agree with vagabon, i dislike bluej very much. I think that any class that will teach java to students should be using Java Studio Creator 2 which has an environment like visual studio. Makes learning the language a lot easier.
If you're gonna take a class, I recommend you telling your instructor to get a hold of that program over any other for using to learn java.
