What are good Java date-chooser Swing GUI widgets?

Tags:

What are good Java Swing date-chooser components? So far I've only really found these 2:

  • JCalendar - this one is pretty good as it uses the underlying look and feel.
  • JXMonthView in the SwingX project - not so good as it uses its own look and feel

Both of these look a bit clunky when compared with some I've seen on web-pages. For example, it might be nice to see multiple months at the same time. Does anyone know of any other good widgets out there?

Recently I found and use the Microba DatePicker (http://microba.sourceforge.net/) for a personal project involving Swing GUIs, and I actually I really liked the way this control is implemented. Besides, the license is BSD, so you will be able to customize the control and use it for commercial purposes if you need to do so.
