Non compilation of Sun Java's program SpinnerDemo3

[Simon Evans]

Dear Programmers,

Having downloaded the JDK 6.0 (see console input/output below) it returns compiler errors on a program I copied direct from the SunJava site -
being SpinnerDemo3.

I was wondering whether the code is faulty, the jdk is faulty - or perish the thought - I am faulty.

Anyhow whatever the cause, I enclose the code for SpinnerDemo3 below, also the console response.

Thank you for helping.

Yours
Simon.
