Package org.netbeans.api.search.ui Description

Helpers for creating UI controls for your search provider that are similar to controls in the default provider.

Static methods in class ComponentUtils can adjust fresh UI components to be used in panels for SearchProvider.Presenter.

The advantage of modifying of existing components and returning controller objects (instead of using subclasses of swing components) is that it can be comfortably used with NetBeans GUI Builder.
