#2 ColorChooser, TabbedPane, DatePicker 0.5

[Brad Baker]

I have created a new echo Component as well as
provided significant improvements on the
TabbedPane and DatePicker I submitted earlier.

The new Component is a ColorChooser, modelled
directly on the Swing JColorChooser. It has a
backing interface based model as well as the ability
to add new preview panes to it. The colors that can
be chosen are also configurable.

I have also made significant changes to the
TabbedPane and Date Picker classes.

The followong summarizes what I have added :

--- ColorChooser

* Added interface based backing model and
ChangeListener support. Added
DefaultColorSelectionModel class.

* Allows preview pane to be replaced or removed

* Allows the number for color sample cells to be
set via an Color[] array

* Allows the title, title font and title colors to be
changed.

* Improved the Javadoc comments on all methods.

* Improved sample "Test" application

--- TabbedPane

* Added support for tabs at the top and bottom of
the tabbed pane. Left and right are still to come.

* Improved the Javadoc comments on all methods.

* Improved the appearance on the low end
browsers. Now looks okay on IE 5 and Netscape
4.7 browsers. Borders dont work on these
browsers however.

* Added interface based backing model and
ChangeListener support. Added
DefaultSingleSelectionModel class.

* Added Insets and icon spacing

* Still dont have rollover links working yet. Waiting
on example code.

* Improved sample "Test" application

--- DatePicker

* Added interface based backing model and
ChangeListener support. Added
DefaultCalendarSelectionModel class.

* Improved the Javadoc comments on all methods.

* Still dont have rollover links working yet. Waiting
on example code.

* Improved sample "Test" application

I have attached a zip file to the features request
page under the the title "ColorChooser,
TabbedPane, DatePicker 0.5"

I have also attached a GIF images of the classes in
action.

These classes are LGPL and I am claiming no
copyright at all on them. Of course the overridding
nextapp echo LGPL applies.
