What is JDateChooser?

JDateChooser - JavaBeans Date Selection Library

DateChooser is a JavaBeans library designed for date selection, featuring three essential datepicker components: the panel, combo editor, and a dialog window. The components allow for visual property customization without the need for any IDE.

Key Features of JDateChooser:

• Flexible Data Selection


• Intuitive Controls


• Appearance Customization


• Visual Editors for Properties


• Customizer Classes for Advanced Usage


• Localization in Multiple Languages

Data Selection

The components of JDateChooser provide flexible options for selecting dates, periods, or multiple periods. Users can customize the selection options by setting boundaries such as minimum and maximum dates, as well as forbidden dates.

Controls

Users can navigate through dates easily with arrow keys, switch between months using PgUp/PgDown, and jump to specific years with Home/End. Multiple date selection is supported by dragging the mouse, clicking on cells while pressing Ctrl and/or Shift, or using the Space key. Pressing Alt while clicking moves the cursor without selecting a date.

Appearance Customization

JDateChooser offers two appearance profiles - Swing and Custom. The Swing profile aims for a natural integration with standard Swing interfaces, while the Custom profile provides more parameters for customization.

Visual Editors

If your IDE does not support visual component customization, you can run the DateChooser.jar file to configure components using visual editors. The changes made are instantly reflected in the component and can be saved for future use.

Customizer Classes

JDateChooser includes Customizer classes like DateCooserXXXCusomizer, which analyze corresponding BeanInfo classes for advanced customization. These classes can be reused for other beans as well.

Localization

In addition to supporting all date localizations available in JDK, JDateChooser provides localized user editors and properties descriptions in English and Russian.

JDateChooser is a free JavaBeans library created by Androsov Vadim in 2007. Download the installer here.
