How to add JCalendar/ date chooser to WindowBuilder, for Swing GUI in Java?

WindowBuilder is most popular eclipse plugin for drag and drop GUI design. It supports SWT and Swing.

Swing does not have a date chooser component of its own. But there are many components available that you can use. My personal favourite is JCalendar.

You can add JCalendar components to your WindowBuilder palette by following these instructions.

1. Download and extract JCalendar.
2.  Right-click on the palette  in WindowBuilder
3. Select jar file of Jcalendar
4. select all componetnts
5. Restart Eclipse.

Now you will see JCalendar components in your palette. For more information about  visit this page.
