Is there any date picker for Java Swing when I click the textfield and it pops up?

Is there any date picker for Java Swing when I click the textfield and the calendar pops up and I can choose the date?? (without any extra button please)

Solution

  • Update: 2019

    Under active development, you'll find LGoodDatePicker

    These features are included: DatePicker, TimePicker, DateTimePicker, CalendarPanel

    Update: 2017

    When this question was asked, the SwingX project still existed and JXDatePicker control was one option to use.

    Currently I can no longer find any trace of this project and to be honest I don't even know if swing still exists :). I'm marking this answer as community wiki, so if anyone knows anything about this subject he/she can update it freely.

    Old answer:

    Swingx has a nice JXDatePicker control. Since Oracle moved java.net to kenai it's a bit of an adventure to find anything.

    Here is the main page: http://swingx.java.net/

    There a JWS demo there too.

    and here's the download area
