Help: "import com.bruceekel.swing.*;"

Sounds like you didn't find the "Steps for installing source code on your machine" instructions at:
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/#SourceCode

The problem is likely that your CLASSPATH environment variable doesn't include the root of the location of com\bruceeckel\swing. In other words, if you unzipped the sample code to the directory "c:\tijcode", then you should also "SET CLASSPATH=c:\tijcode" (at least; you may want other things in there, too). By the way, when you unzip, the directory hierarchy should be produced, so in the above example, you would have a bunch of directories, including "c:\tijcode\com\bruceeckel", where you would find the "util" and "swing" directories, among others.
