I would like it if there are no search results, that the window would call a pop-up warning stating such and then just close the window. I have it setup that whenever I want to mak...

Assuming that nothing in the JTextPane is selected, I would like to be able to modify the style of a portion that is not yet in it, that is to say, to set the style that the user is going to type next. Using setCharacterAttributes(start, length, style,...
For a specific screen, I'm looking for a JList that I could filter (the same way you can filter a JTable using a RowFilter) Is there a good implementation of this kind of component anywhere here in the wild (and do you have an experience with it) or do I have to code it myself ?

For example, say I have a series of toolbar-style buttons across the top of my application's main window. I want to attach a mnemonic to one of these that's just a single keypress, like F3.

I have a custom ButtonUI class that paints the button. Before drawing the text, the paint method checks whether the button has been set a custom color in order to use that instead of UIDefaults#get("Button.foreground"). if ((b.getForeground() != null)) { colText = b.getForeground(); } Having a look into the java.awt.Component clas...
I have a Java JApplet embedded in a web page. The JApplet window contains a single instance of a class that extends JPanel - same size as the JApplet. The applet can spawn pop-up windows (JFrames) when the user clicks a button that's in the panel. Every time I click on a button to pop-up a window, my applet flickers as it repaints. It ...

I have a .bmp sprite sheet that contains all of the textures I want to use to paint with. Every time the player moves, the tiles that are visible to the player need to be redrawn...

However, when there are more than a few items in the list, it renders VERY slowly. Scrolling in the list and expanding nodes takes over 1 second, whi...
