I tried it on another machine running Java 1.4.2 and it worked okay.  The 
machine with the problem was running 1.4.1.  

The specific problem that I ran into was a complaint about not being able to 
load JFormattedTextField.  I looked at the Java API and found that this was 
introduced in 1.4.2 so that explains the reason it didn't work on a 1.4.1 
machine.
