***BOGO*** [Mingw-users] FW: gcj. JTextArea compile problem

This message has disappeared from the mingw-users list but remains a problem. Please help (i) advise any unacceptable use of the list, (ii) the compilation problem itself.

The following code compiles & runs OK on the Netbeans java development environment (jdk) but gives the error shown below when compiled by gcj running in mingw :

Java code :

* Trial2.java

import java.awt.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Trial2 extends JFrame{

JTextArea textArea=new JTextArea(2,20);

public Trial2(){ super("Trial 2");

setSize(600,200);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setVisible(true); Container contentArea=getContentPane();

contentArea.setBackground(Color.yellow);

FlowLayout flow=new FlowLayout();

contentArea.setLayout(flow);

textArea.setText("text area print");

contentArea.add(textArea);

setContentPane(contentArea);

}

public static void main(String[] args){

Trial2 xyz = new Trial2();

}}

Mingw operation :

Roger@ROGER-HOME /c/msys/1.0/mingw

$ gcj --main=Trial2 Trial2.java

Trial2.java:10: error: Type `JTextArea' not found in declaration of field `textArea'.

JTextArea textArea=new JTextArea(2,20);

1 error

Any ideas why. Thanks.
