I bought JClass a couple of years ago.  I really needed only one component
(the date/time picker) and that's all I use.  However, I spent a lot of time
writing workarounds and helper classes for just that one component and even
now two years later some of the problems still exist.  I wasn't overly
impressed with the quality and would not have spent the effort on it if
there were another component library available that had the component I
needed.

It will save time, but be prepared for some finicky behaviour.  One example
I can think of off the top of my head is the inconsistent return type
behaviour: if you select a date with the drop-down calendar, the value
returned is of one type, but if you key the date in manually the return
value is of a different type, and both types may be different from the type
you declared the field to be in the first place.  Very frustrating.
