Question

How can I add a jbutton over the cell area? this is the cleansheets app and I have to add a jbutton over the cell area( not inside of the cell) and I have no ideia how to do this. I tried to play with JLayeredPane but with no luck so far

All Swing components extend from Container , so you can add any component to the JTable. The key is to set the bounds of the component. Something like:

Rectangle cell = table.getCellRect(....);
JButton button = new JButton(...);
button.setBounds( cell );
table.add( button );
table.repaint();
