Which Swing component for this design?

Question

I am making a desktop application in Java and confused as to which swing component to use to achieve this result.

Here is the screenshot of the app.

enter image description here

I want to know the component for the content shown in the JScrollPane.

I am thinking of JList or JTable with Providing a Custom Renderer. There will be alphabet headers and rows containing information.

Each row can be clicked to open a new window. Row will also change its color on hovering.

Can these be customized according to my need as shown in image? And can JavaFx components be used in Java Desktop applications? – Akshat Oct 07 '13 at 07:54
there are a few [good attempts in Swing](http://stackoverflow.com/a/10598227/2853553), but is about coding, you can to embeding JavaFx to Swing container (JavaFX2.2 and newer versios), but for mixing Swing v.s. JavaFx is better, have to wait for Java8 with JavaFX8 – mKorbel Oct 07 '13 at 08:00
