I am creating a GUI interface.

On one of my panels, I want to have a grid on it. I have no idea how I
would do this or if this is even possible.
Any ideas.

On another panel I need to display the attribute name and attribute value
from an XML document, and want to have this look like a table format.
Can someone give me some ideas of how to do this? or point me to a website
or book?

I am familiar with basic widget in Swing, but not sure how to do more
complex stuff.

Thanks for any help.

so for example

-------------------------------------
attribute1 | attribute value
-------------------------------------
attribute2 | attribute value
-------------------------------------
attribute3 | attribute value
-----------------------------------

Thanks,

-- Use GridLayout
-- Alternatively insert a JTable

On another panel I need to display the attribute name and attribute
value
from an XML document, and want to have this look like a table format.

--Use JTable

Documentation and use for these components can be found at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api

For the XML, there are lots of ways to handle the data. One such way
is using the following libraries:
org.w3c.dom.Document
org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap
org.w3c.dom.NodeList

In this approach, use DocumentBuilderFactory to parse the xml file into
a Document.
Use the NodeList to enumerate the Nodes in the Document and iterate
through them.
Use the NamedNodeMap to enumerate the attributes of the Nodes in
NodeList.

Hope this helps
