Hi!

I'm programming a image browser using swing and I'd like
to know your opinion about which is the best component to build
a thumbnail view of the files (like when you click "thumbnail
view" in the windows explorer). A JTable maybe ?
Any examples (with code) available out there ?

Thanks in advance

yes JTable is ok. You need to write your own TableCellRenderer.

I'd use a JButton with borderPainted = false and the thumbnail as the
icon.

this is ok, if you have not much images in directory, otherwise you have to
create many many many JButtons, JTable uses only one renderer instead.
