Add a scrollbar to the rightside of a splitpane

[Maarten via JavaKB.com]

I've got a JSplitpane containing a TreePanel on the left and a JPanel containing several buttons and labels on right.

When resizing the window, no scrollbars are added the the right-side!

Can anyone help (with code-example)

A simple way for me is to just put the panel in a javax.swing.JScrollPane.
So where you have
container.add(panel);
use
container.add(new JScrollPane(panel));

It will add horizontal and vertical scrollbars, however, so if you only want
one you will have to do something else.

That page gives a good view of how scroll panes work. The essential
thing is to set the size of the client -- that is, the component placed
inside the scroll pane.
