While you're using the Swing 1.0.3 release, you'll probably need these documents:

SwingSet README Describes how to run the SwingSet example, which demonstrates many of the features in Swing and can run as either an applet or as an application. Includes instructions for running SwingSet in the Applet Viewer, Internet Explorer, and Netscape Communicator.
API documentation Generated by the javadoc tool from comments in the Swing source code. If your browser doesn't support frames and tables, then look at the old-fashioned API doc.

NOTES.txt Besides providing bug information, tells you where to send e-mail to the Swing team.
