Is there any existing swing component available to do this?

I am looking to achieve something like this, represented in the image:

enter image description here

Basically it's a list, but with two columns. The first column's rows are just labels or textfields, and the second column is filled with JComboBox. Is there already something like this built in to java?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I would make a generic object that you could use to store 2 object instances or 2 new ArrayLists of any kind.

public class DoubleList<T1,T2>
{
    final public ArrayList<T1> listOne = new ArrayList<T1>();
    final public ArrayList<T2> listTwo = new ArrayList<T2>();
}

With this class, you can easily make use of it as follows:

DoubleList<Label, ComboBox> myCustomList = new DoubleList<Label, ComboBox>();

//Ready to use the lists by
//myCustomList.listOne  and myCustomList.listTwo
  • And not only that, but you can now use that class for any kind of Object type xD

The other alternative is:

  public class DoubleObjects<T1,T2>
    {
        final public T1 one = new T1();
        final public T2 two = new T2();
    }

and use:

ArrayList<DoubleObjects<Label, ComboBox>> arrayList = new ArrayList<DoubleObjects<Label, ComboBox>>();

Yes, see How to use tables, in particular the section on Using a Combo Box as an Editor
