Problems with LayerUI on Mac

[pete051]

This tutorial Using JLayer in Swing Applications in NetBeans 7 I have attempted this with with netbeans 7.1 on a Mac 10.6.8 and all goes well until I reach the import statement import javax.swing.plaf.LayerUI; then it complains it can't find LayerUI. Quite correct there is no LayerUI in the plaf folder.
Whereas the same program on linux has no problem at all. Is this a purely mac thing or am a missing some vital library or other?

JLayer is new in Java SE 7. What Java version do you have on the Mac?

Ah I guess that is it then I am running 1.6 and I imagine as macs do run their own version of java that could be a problem, have to investigate further :)

There's nothing further to investigate, really. As you've already seen, there's no JLayer in 1.6.

And there doesn't appear to be a target date for release of 1.7 for MacOS.

Fair enough :)
