Usage:


Add the bean to your pallete and drag the bean onto your form and customize it.
If not using a GUI builder(but why? try NetBeans)

//instantiate the JCalendarWidget
JCalendarWidget widget = new JCalendarWidget();
// JDatePicker has overloaded constructor to specify the dateFormat
//will use DateFormat.LONG as default
JDatePicker picker = new JDatePicker();
//customize the widget
widget.setHolidayForeground(Color.RED);
widget.setHighlightHoliday(true);
widget.setDatesFromPreviousAndNextMonthShown(true);

//add the widget to datepicker
picker.setCalendarWidet(picker);
