I have a JTable whose associated TableModel could be initially empty. Therefore, it currently shows a JTable with its columns and no rows.

In order to fill this JTable, I want the user to drag and drop elements from another component. The problem is that I would like to hint the user that he/she should drag elements to this table, with some message like “Drag xxx here to add a row”.

I thought that I could achieve this by putting a panel over the JTable , but I don’t think it is possible with any java layout.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or should I stick to a CardLayout to switch to/from the hint and the JTable?

Thanks a lot

    Take a look at OverlayLayout, I think it might do what you want.
