JDatePicker

JDatePicker and JDatePanel is a date picker control for Java Swing applications.

Familiar look and feel: It has a familiar look and feel for most users since the look and feel is based on MS counterpart.
MVC design: It is designed with the Model View Controller pattern and it uses the Java Calendar object as the model.
Ideal for touch screens: One very useful feature of JDatePicker is that it can be embedded on a Panel and to be resized to occupy a larger area. This might not seem like a feature to everyone but if you have ever developed applications which needs to be displayed on touch screens you will appreciate this feature.
Optional year selector: Optional year selector buttons which is useful on touch screens where the rolling year selector is too small.
Available in maven: If you are using Maven2 to build your project, you can easily include it as a dependency. Alternatively you may download the JAR and include it on your classpath.
Business friendly: Business friendly licencing.
