Update 5: DnD means Drag and Drop... no character sheets necessary

Thought I'd post a lil' snippet of code here for any wide-eyed web wanderer to use. Its a JTextField that looks like a label until double clicked, or clicked and held for 1 second. When the field looses focus, or enter is pressed it goes back to looking like a label.

Its useful in creating a condensed GUI with high functionality. Disagree? Well Photoshop's got a neat little label just like this ;-). I just wrote a Java implementation. Please subscribe, or at least lemme know if this is useful for you.

As far as my editor goes, I just got TileLayer's z values to update properly with GUI panel's ordering. It looks pretty nice. Developing a DnD list with functioning GUI components in Java is a major pain, but I did it. Its even nicer because when I drag and drop components my TileMap is now updated.
