class hierarchy

[nick]

how do I check if a class exists, then print out the heirarchy below it? ie

java ClassInfo javax.swing.JFrame

class java.lang.Object
class java.awt.Component
class java.awt.Container
class java.awt.Window
class java.awt.Frame
class javax.swing.JFrame

Look at java.lang.Class, it has methods to get the super class, class name
and so on of any object.
