What is corresponding .net usercontrol in java?

Question

For .net developers usercontrols are vital. I am trying to develop a java swing application. I want to create my custom "usercontrols", just like in .net. But there is no usercontrol :).

In some places i see something like "javabean" but it is not clear ? Can anyone guide me ? How can i create a usercontrol in java ?

Answer 1

@Grook's link explains the basics of swing components. But for me , I need something more special and easy solution.

Basically a jpanel is similar to a usercontrol in .net.

Here is a good tutorial that explains using jpanels and their reusability which is so similar to .net usercontrols.
