Contains extensions to the Java Swing GUI toolkit, including new and enhanced components that provide functionality commonly required by rich client applications. Note that this project has been discontinued in early 2013.

Highlights include:

  • List item
  • Sorting, filtering, highlighting for tables, trees, and lists
  • Find/ search
  • Auto-completion
  • Login/ authentication framework
  • TreeTable component
  • Collapsible panel component
  • Date picker component
  • Tip-of-the-Day component

While it was planned to have many of these features to be incorporated into the Swing toolkit, Swing itself has been put into maintenance mode, with JavaFX being the actively developed UI toolkit shipped with JDK.

The project was hosted on http://swingx.java.net/ until java.net itself was discontinued. Historical binary artifacts are available at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.swinglabs.swingx

Making JXTreeTable Editable

Can anyone provide a concrete example of how to make a JXTreeTable editable? Specifically, I would like to make all cells in one column editable. It does not appear to be the case that this functionality is supported out of the box.
