Ken,
I am also having the same problems that Harold mentioned in a previous post: “…I need to be able to display a JLabel component with an icon and text.” When I create a custom cell renderer the row is no longer highlighted and the alternating row colors don’t appear in that column. Is there an update to the .jar file that you could send me. Thank you very much!

No Ken. If you notice the behavior of the Split Pane inside iTunes, you can still drag while pressing on one of the two components. In other words, the splitter should be a transparent component floating “over” the edges of both components, that’s why I used a JLayeredPane for that.

Here’s a screenshot explained:

Hi Elie,

No problem! As for the split pane, are you referring to a single pixel wide version with a wider “hot spot”? If so, that would definitley be useful.

Thanks a lot for this beautiful Library.

I would love to have also a JSplitPane alternative with a similar behavior to Cocoa’s. I’ve coded one myself for Woopra by extending the JLayeredPane.

Ken, if your changes also address my submitted issue, I’d be very happy if you could e-mail me the jar-file as well. Many thanks for your afford!

Well, I’d like to get it, too. Alternatively, what yo you think about a small ant task inside the repo building the latest jar?

Yes, please send me the latest jar. Thanks!

Hi Harold,

Hopefully you’ll find all the API changes are worth the trouble (I think they are!).

I believe I have fixed the cell rendering issue you mentioned in the latest build. If you’d like, I can email you the most recent jar file.

Hello Ken,

I’ve been very happy with 0.9.4 and was excited to see the new release even though I’d have to work through some of the api changes.

I do have a problem with the my custom cell rendering. It appears that the cell renderer does not display selected cells. see image: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/936/itunestablebugs.png

I need to be able to display a JLabel component with an icon and text. Let me know if you need me to log a ticket for this.

Also, my data model return a long value that doesn’t have a custom cell renderer but shows up as opaque and thus doesn’t show striping. I believe you already have a ticket logged against this.
