Java GUI layout

[wbeaumo]

Hello. I am re-designing the look and feel of a Java program for my
company. This program displays individual JTables in a JTabbedPane.
Each table has cells with numeric values that can be edited by
clicking on them and causing spinners to appear. However, I would like
the spinners to appear all the time, not just when the user is editing
a cell. Is this possible?

It sounds like you want to customize the CellRenderers
as well as the CellEditors.
