Hi,
I want to add a small button next to the title of each tabbed pane and
receive user's mouse click event at the small button.
And finally, the selected pane will be removed.

How to add other object, button, into Title part of JTabbedPane ?

Any ideas?

Given that JTabbedPane doesn't support this, you'll have to subclass it.
Using the source, you can probably add what you want.

Otherwise, you'll have to create the tab's yourself, and add the tabs
using a CardLayout.

You could have a look at the NetBeans 3.6 (or later) source code. They
add a little "x" on the end of each editor tab to close that file. Sorry
but I have *no* idea which part of the code to look at. Maybe you could
try asking on one of the NetBeans mailing lists?
