Missing javax.swing components

[George Chifamba]

On my eclipse for Java developers, javax.swing is missing some components. What should I do to add the missing ones?

[Campbell Ritchie]

Don't know; you haven't provided enough details.

And, welcome to the Ranch

I merged your stuff with the following thread. I hope that is okay by you.

On my eclipse for Java developers, javax.swing is missing some components.  E.g. if I try to import javax.swing.JOptionPane it gives an error message. Even in the built-in components, this component is missing. What should I do to add the missing ones?

[Campbell Ritchie]

Please don't ask the same question twice. I shall merge your two threads.

What version of Java are you using? Unless Swing has become an optional module in recent releases, the entirety of Swing should be included as part of the standard JVM. If the class is truly missing, then the JVM you are using is damaged.

I'm using eclipse for Java developers 2021-06.
What is the JVM I'm using is damaged, how do I fix it?

Tim asked about the verison of Java®, not Eclipse. What happens when you run the code from the terminal/command line? What error messages are you getting?
