Try using OpenJDK (which is a 1.6) and setting the source and target
language to 1.5.
That said, programs using com.sun classes are broken, those classes are NOT
part of the Java API and may NOT be present even on certified Java
implementations. I think OpenJDK has the JPEG stuff now (reimplemented, as
the original implementation was licensed from a third party and thus not
part of the OpenJDK release - the kind of things you have to expect if you
use private APIs). But com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.* will obviously not
be available in ANY JVM for non-Window$ OSes, not even the binaries from
Sun. The software needs to be fixed not to use Window$-only APIs.
