public class CustomizableToolbar
extends javax.swing.JToolBar
implements java.awt.event.MouseListener, java.awt.event.ActionListener

This customizable toolbar lets users reconfigure the order of the buttons and the buttons that are on the toolbar. Buttons can be added and removed. There are several UIs for reconfiguring the toolbar, and the default is the best by usability -- drag-and-drop. The other is kept around as a legacy technique in case we ever want to do user tests to prove that this one's the best. The qualitative usability studies that we've done on this suggest that it's the most usable Customizable Toolbar that there is (except maybe Apple's, which we didn't directly compare). We do recommend having an option somewhere in the menus for "Customize Toolbar..." which shows a dialog explaining how to customize the toolbar through right- or option-clicking.
