TreeCellRenderer (Global Knowledge)

Combining different components together especially JTree with other components, for example, JButton、JPanel、etc. Sun posts tutorials that can solve these problems. Solution comes in the class of TreeCellRenderer.

But firstly, programmers have to study two different parts:

Swing(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html) & Renderers/Editors(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/overview/rendering.html;

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html; — TableDialogEditDemo;   http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#editrender)

relative threads in swing forum

Tutorial is relatively too short comparing to the amount of questions on renderer/editor(more than) . Some “How to” FAQ should be necessary. But I think that is enough for “JButton JTree TreeCellRenderer”.

Most questions are posted by novices and simply want to know how to add a button(or other widgets) as TreeIcon.
