Explorer Type Component - Design Question

Thread view:

Hi All,

I'm building an explorer type GUI

split pane /

left side = tree view /

then depending upon which node the user selects, the right
side will either be a jtable or a jtextarea

What's the best way of doing this - so the jtable & jtextarea will
occupy the same location, but only 1 of them will be visible at anyone time

- use a layered pane ?

TIA

Bill

JPanel with a CardLayout.
