Object-Oriented Widgets
OO-Widgets is a Java Swing project that makes the JTable (and soon, other components) much easier to use.This library differs from other Swing libraries in that it displays any set of pre-existing objects or Java Beans, using the Java class code to determine information such as attribute names and writeability. It uses standard Java features, such as JavaBean introspection. The UIs that are produced have all the configurability that programmers need, such as read-only or writeable columns, support for custom renderers, column ordering, etc.
