How to create rearrangeable tabs in Swing? Like that found in Google Chrome browser or Opera Browser. In which user can drag the tabs and can arrange it. Is it possible to achieve the same in Swing or JavaFx 2.0 ?
I found this code example drag and drop tabs in jtabbedpane that looks like what you are looking for.

I used to develop my application in Swing. But recently I have begun to use JavaFx.
In Swing JTabPane we have this:
]
In JavaFx TabPane we have this:
We can see the selected Tab bigger than the other
But in JavaFx, we don't have this effect.
Question: How can I obtain the same Swing Tab style in JavaFx ?
Problem solve.
We can use CSS to make this style (Background-color, padding, :selected...)
Sorry I'm a beginner in JavaFx.

I want to create a GUI for aria2c download manager like Google Chrome that has one button to change state from HTTP to FTP or metalink and so on and a textField for import users download link and a button for settings like Google Chrome. Below this toolbar I want to show things that user want to download like IDM. That IDM show name and status of things that user want to download. Please suggest how I can create this GUI and which layout manager is comfortable for creating this GUI. Thanks very much.
You can use either GridLayout or BorderLayout. Also read this: Using Layout Manager
Agree 100% with Harry. Also:
Avoid using NetBeans default GroupLayout
Learn about nesting JPanels each with its own simple layout to in effect nest layout managers and create complex layouts.
Probably avoid usingGridBagLayout early on when learning to use layout managers and use the more simple ones if possible. Consider using MiGLayout if you need a complex gridbag-like layout and nesting of simple layouts doesn't solve the problem.
If stuck, post an image of your desired GUI layout and your latest code attempt, and we'll be able to give you more specific advice.
I have a Java Swing application running on OSX that uses Quaqua. All the TextFields and TextAreas have a popup menu on right click. This must be done by Quaqua as it is not standard in Swing.
My question is:
How do I set my own Actions on the popup menu?
Please Note. This is a question about Quaqua popup menus NOT any Swing popup menu. If you are not familiar about Quaqua then please don't answer.
A pop-up menu is the same as a regular menu. The Swing tutorial about menus covers how to use them, how to insert entries, ... . Reading that tutorial should get you started
The popup menu set by Quaqua can be removed by setting a client property:
myTextField.putClientProperty("Quaqua.TextComponent.showPopup", Boolean.FALSE);
You can then add your own MouseListener to handle creating your own pop up menu.
I haven't figured out, however, to make this change global, and so I have to set the client property on each of my text fields individually, which is a bit of a pain.
I would like to implement a list of interactive buttons using Swing. It is something similar as on the picture (from NetBeans UI designer):
You can drag and drop the items to a canvas, or single click on the item and then single click on the canvas. However, I don't know which swing components I should use. Are that JList or JButtons or something different?
There is a tutorial avalaible on how to achieve such functionality. It is utilizing the NetBeans Palette API, which makes you dependent on NetBeans as Framework, not IDE.
Depending on the goal, you might want to look into developing for the NetBeans Platform.
