Package org.jdesktop.swingx Description

Contains extensions to the Swing GUI toolkit, including new and enhanced components that provide functionality commonly required by rich, data-centric client applications. Many of these features will eventually be incorporated into the Swing toolkit, although API compatibility will not be guaranteed.

New or Enhanced Functionality

Auto-completion for Textfields and ComboBoxes

Enhanced Rendering Support for Collection Components

Built-In Search Support for Collection Components and JXEditorPane

Filtering/Sorting for Tables and Lists

NOTE: this is incompatible with core (table) sorting/filtering in JDK 6+. Will be replaced by core functionality after switching the target jdk version from 5 to 6.

Login/Authentication Framework

New and Enhanced components

Buttons and Labels

• JXButton
• Hyperlink
• JXLabel
• JXBusyLabel
• JXRadioGroup

Collection Components

These are sortable/filterable (with the exception of hierarchical components) with consistent and uniform SwingX rendering, highlighting, searching and rollover support.

• Table uses the enhanced TableHeader
• List - rollover and sort/filter functionality is disabled by default
• Tree
• TreeTable - a new hierarchical component with support of tabular node properties

Top-level Windows, General and Special Purpose Containers

• Enhanced Frame using an extended RootPane RootPane to support a StatusBar
• Dialog
• Panel
• ErrorPane
• LoginPane
• Search components: FindBar used for incremental search (similar to FireFox), FindPanel used in a find dialog, and SearchPanel used for what was it?
• Nested SplitPane MultiSplitPane
• Vertical collapsing/expansion functionality is provided by a CollapsiblePane. A special purpose collapsible is the TaskPane which typically is used to group buttons/hyperlinks which perform related tasks. A special TaskPaneContainer is responsible for the layout of several TaskPanes.
• Easily configurable TipOfTheDay
• TitledPanel

Miscallenous Components

• New calendar components: the DatePicker allows to select a single Date and a MonthView showing the overview of one or more months.
• Header
• TitledSeparator
• JXColorSelectionButton
• JXEditorPane
• JXGlassBox (PENDING JW: remove?)
• JXGradientChooser
• JXGraph
