Can anyone give me a few leads on to what classes I should use to acomplish these tasks? All i need is a lead on the names.

I want to have a application with 3 seperate area's in it, one for a filesystem view, one for a drag and ddrop area, and one for a viewer, where i can move graphics around in

I was thinking about using JFrame/JPanel.. but then i wouldnt know how to begin implimentation in that...

any links/tips/refs would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

look at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/components.html look though what kylix999 posted then look at it again.

also have a look at http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable1/index.html and for treetable on java.sun.com depending on how you want to browse though your files.

if you use split panes I would recomend useing this line:
1  
        UIManager.put("SplitPaneDivider.border", BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0, 0, 0, 0));

it fastly cleans up your user interface.
It's harder to read code than to write it. - it's even harder to write readable code.

This should help me out greatly!

another question... im not new to java, but im relativley inexperienced when it coems to the wealth of knowledge associated w/ java...

so when im looking for information on something, do i just do what i just did and ask, or is there a certain way you guys research it? or what hehe =)

thanks again for the links!

you pick up bits an pieces along the way, ideling in #java at a random irc server and follow/research the more interesting problems. certain know-how is offcourse collected by simply doing stuff.
