For example, I want a JLabel without its border ( border width = 0)
How to do that?
Thank Q very much in advance!

I'm developing some thing like an electronic circuit designer. I have
a number of JButtons placed programatically on a JPanel. Now I need to
draw lines between pairs of JButtons by dragging mouse from one button
to another one. Please advice on how such a thing can be implemented.

Let's say I have a GUI project "abc" that consists of 3 "components" each of
which has some widgets (GUI elements), model classes and controller classes.
What's the best way to structure the packages?
My first thought would be something like this:

in an appliction i'm developing, i need to place jlabels or button on
a frame/panel. when the application is running, i should be able to
drag these jlabels/buttons around. how can this be done. Please advice

This seems quite different than the issue I had with an ActionListener

I need to create an ESRI shapefile set (.shp, .shx, .dbf) from an
object.  The object is drawn to the screen -- or any Graphics2D -- via
its draw() method, so a good starting point would be an implementation
of Graphics2D which writes to a shapefile instead of the screen.

I've run into a rather strange problem, at least for me.  I've got an
AWT Frame containing a Canvas at the center of a BorderLayout which an
Image is painted on.
This Canvas returns the Image's size as preferred size, so on pack()-ing

Does anyone know if there's a reliable alternate file browsing dialog,
or if JFileChooser is being worked on? It lacks many features that the
simple native Windows FileDialog has, such as the different views,

It seems there is a lack of tutorials for SWT out there, at least
significantly less than the amazing Swing Tutorial. Anyways . . . I
was thinking of converting my partially developed app from Swing to

We are working on a Whiteboard application. We have a feature where
text can be written on the canvas. Currently we popup up a dialog to
enter text to be written and then use a text area to display it on the
canvas.

Is there any way to have HTML-formatted text in a JTree node? I have to
display up to 400 characters in the node.
I was thinking about building a JEditorPane into a TreeNode, but have no
idea how to do this.
