I am learning Java and trying to run some examples using Java web start.

However, I cannot seem to find that package javax.jnlp.

This same error is haunting me on both windows and linux.I've installed oracle jdk 7 on windows.OpenJDK 1.6 is the version installed on linux.

Searching the internet for the package with no luck.It is no longer available on oracle's website because they insist that the package is a part of the jdk.

I've searched the installation directories for it.some claim it is in the jnlp.jar file, others claim in javaws.jar file...neither files are part of my installation.

Can be found in jre/lib/javaws.jar in 1.7 and 1.8, as per: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13555413/829305

The jre/ directory can be found inside the jdk/ directory if you've only got the JDK installed.
