Swing Library

This library contains a number of advanced components and layout managers the Java Swing framework is missing.

Features

Expandable Arcordion

Just like in Outlook, a slider on the left opens and closes menu options

TextArea Expander :

http://blue-walrus.com/2011/02/expandable-text-area-in-swing/

This component is a text area which has a special bottom right corner. When a user hovers over this corner, it can be dragged, and the whole component can then have its size readjusted. You see this component a lot in web pages.

Tree Filter :

http://blue-walrus.com/2011/03/swing-filtered-tree-just-like-in-eclipse/

It's a standard JTree with a textfield on the top. As the user types in the textfield, the tree branches are filtered. Quite common in IDEs like Eclipse.

Row Number Columns :
