If I use 2 editable JComboBoxes, the action command when typing
in some value in the editable part of the JComboBox for both of the

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

If I have a JFrame (with a JMenuBar, etc.) is there a way I could convert
it, somehow, such that it would run in a tab of a JTabbedPane? Could it be

What would be the best way to go about creating a countdown timer that shows
the user how much time he/she has to accomplish something, then do something

with a clock counting down in one corner or another. ...

I'm having problem with selecting rows in my JTable with mouse clicks. I can
create my own model and renderers for certain types but I don't know where I
can find select operations.
What I'd like to do is:

Is it possible for a MaskFormatter to create a pattern that accepts one or
many digits? I know JFormattedTextField is not for matching with RegExp-like
patterns. I just want to type any numer of digits and not receive getValue()
== null if the number of digits in "###" is smaller ...

I am wondering if there's a wiser way to get the image object's width and
height, please advise.
Here is my idea:
