Anyway knows of a good (production) free java data aware GUI
framework? (im a bit mixed up i have noticed there is DBSwing that
seems to me to be the best its costly i think (not sure) and I would
rather working with eclipse... anyone has good experience with such?

As of now, the images moving in my JFrame do so by changing thier code
position, then completeley redrawing the JFrame. This is not very
efficient, or good-looking as the screen refreshes with every movement
performed. There must be a way of moving items without having to repaint()

I've the following problem:
a JComboBox shows entries from a database column. I want to enable the
user to select an entry by typing the first letters.
The JComboBox is editable, because the user should see what he typed in.

I'm starting my first Java game, and need some help with the graphics. It's
going to be an RPG on a tile-based 2D map. Here's what I have so far:
About 20 PNG files (50x50) // these will be the tiles
A Tile class which extends JFrame and displays a PNG file

I'd like to print the contents of a JTable contained in a JScrollPane.
I've been able to find tutorials and code samples for printing a
JComponent on a single page, but am lost at how to go about printing
the entire contents of a JScrollPane. I'm guessing Id have to paint

Can anyone point me to example code that allows me to have a
multi-column popup menu for a JComboBox.  For example I want to show
100 items in a 10 column 10 items per column scenario instead of a

I have the following problem that is still unsolved since one month:
when in the content (StyledDocument) of a JTextPane two digits are following
each other - what you can test very easy - they should not be displayed as
normal (from left to right), but from top to bottom. That ...

I was wondering whether anyone uses a program which allows the developer to
view their gui under different resolutions and monitor sizes.  I'm using a
17 inch monitor, but i'd like to see what my gui looks like on a 15 inch
monitor 800 by 600.  Let me know of any websites where ...

String error =  "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n"
             + "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n"
             + "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
TextArea complain = new TextArea( error, 3, 42  );

Okay so Action is fine for centralising event handling for multiple controls
of the same function. But I want to add a plain ActionListener for this
event.  Seems reasonable.  If I was just using ActionListeners I would add
as many as I like to a component.  And they'd all be ...

I overrode the paint method in Applet as a generic way to generate an
error message about too old a Java. To my amazement, the normal Panel
display showed through with my stuff on top.
I would have expected paint to replace the normal painting of Panel

I have a frame (f) with two JPanels (f.p1, f.p2).
On p1 there is a Choice (f.p1.ch1) component.
There is an actionbutton (f.p2.b1) on p2.
The Actionhandler which is listening to f.p2.b1 needs to check the selected

In JTable, rows are inserted from top to bottom. So, when the JTable is not
"full", white space is added under the rows. In order to make my GUI, I

Does anyone has an idea to obtain this result ?
