Hi,
 I have a subclass of JPanel containing various JButtons (subclasses of
JButton). The buttons can be dragged around and that works great. I want
to draw lines linking boxes. I'm having touble mixing say the drawLine
method of Graphics with this Container.
Ideally I'd like to have arrows, with heads, linking them. I've seen
this in the Sun utillity JavaStar, which is used for testing GUIs.

Also the layout algorithm is a bit of a problem...but that another
story.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Peter
