I'm trying to build mS-java compatible applet and I have references to classes in com.ms.*. But I can't find the required libraries.

+4  A: 

They're part of the old Microsoft Java SDK, which is no longer available.

I think the only way to get your hands on the com.ms.* packages is by getting your hands on an old Microsoft J++ disc set. They don't sell those anymore, of course, but you can find some on ebay.

I would strongly recommend not using the J++ libraries, including com.ms.*. They're not supported, deprecated, and you won't find documentation online for them anymore. Also, there might be a questionable legality of using or selling software built with J++, given Microsoft's legal agreement with Sun to retire J++.

I looked it up through MS J++ files but never managed to find any cabs, jars, zips, classes that contain those libraries... it seems to be inside a dll.So I don't know if there's a way to extract it from the dll.

A dll? Shouldn't be. I'm thinking they were in a jar file inside the Microsoft Java SDK.
