Java Swing How can I accomplish a navigator like in the example

Question

For my current project I would like to have a navigator like this:

But I couldn't find a Swing component that works like that. My question now is, does anyone know how to do this and could explain it to me or give me a tip?

Answer 1

Along the top is a tool bar ( JToolBar ). On the left is a tabbed pane ( JTabbedPane ) showing a tree ( JTree ) in the current tab. On the right is a tree table (I would say JTable , but it is a pure table, not a tree table - you might need to look to 3rd party APIs for that part).

More generally, see:

• A Visual Guide to Swing Components
• The File Browser GUI for both a JTree for the file-system on the left, & using the native/system Look and Feel (to make it look more like the image above).
