JCalendar Date Chooser Widgets for Swing

A date chooser is a frequent element needed when building Swing applications. I have been using JCalendar widgets for my needs. They have an excellent selection of widgets to fit most needs, including separate month and year choosers for cases where you don't need whole dates (like credit card months and years) licensed under the LGPL open source license.

These work well with Netbeans. Make a JCalendar library using the Library Manager, then add the library to your Swing widgets palette. Use Tools, Palette Manager, Swing/AWT Components, then click on Add from Library to allow drag and drop of these widgets in Matisse.
