Java Swing JXDatePicker

Question

Java Swing JXDatePicker

I am using SwingX JXDatePicker and I cannot figure out how to provide next / previous year buttons (since by default it only provides next / previous month buttons).

Also, it seems that SwingX is no longer supported: should I use a later component as a date picker?

Any help / hint would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Thomas

UPDATE:

To clarify the issue, I added a screenshot of JXDatePicker and highlighted in red the buttons for the next / previous month. So the questions are: how do I add buttons that bring the calendar to next / previous year? Please note that the new buttons must be standard components, as they must be displayed by the specific Look and Feel manager (in this case, Insusbantantial).

Many thanks

I know this is an old question, but I finally found the answer here, from Cleopatra's comment on the SwingsLab demo.

SwingsLab , , , ( ):

UIManager.put(CalendarHeaderHandler.uiControllerID, SpinningCalendarHeaderHandler.class.getName());
datePicker = new JXDatePicker();
datePicker.getMonthView().setZoomable(true); //this is needed for custom header

As an alternative, I would recommend LGoodDatePicker . It has buttons for returning back and forth throughout the year, as well as a menu for selecting any desired year. Fair disclosure: I am the main developer of this project. Please let me know if it suits you.

LGoodDatePicker Homepage: https://github.com/LGoodDatePicker/LGoodDatePicker

The release section has a working demo (jar executable) and a list of the main functions on the gitub page.

Screenshots below.
