where is com.sun.source.tree?

[swing_developer]

I have rt.jar for java1.6 which is what was installed when I downloaded NB 6.7.1 last week and installed it.OK. That rt.jar has no com.sun.source... I discovered this by trying to import it, then going to libraries then java1.6(Default) then rt.jar.... yep nothing there.... what have I done wrong?

TIA

So in other words, why does rt.jar, the runtime for java not contain a compiled version of the com.sun.source packages which are in fact present in the corresponding source of the said same JDK in this case, JDK 1.6.016, or the latest.... and where can I get them ?

Those packgaes are in tools.jar in _JDK_ folder, as ones are only used by
compiler and only for compiling text (Java source) files. Java API doesn't says
anything about it so, you need to bear in mind that thoes are vendor specific
and runtime doesn't have it. Other compilers can use different way to parse
sources.

If you want to develop code based on trees (in other words code using SUN
compiler), the best way is to create library and reference it in project, or
just reference tools.jar.

As the future sugestion, there are Java language model packages and classes  
in javax.lang.model.* wich should be available in Java 6 versions.
