Rendering javax.swing.JButton in a lwjgl window

Question

Is it possible to render a javax.swing.JButton and other swing elements in a lwjgl window (with openGL)? If not, what can you recomend for in game GUI in lwjgl?

Note: i tried Nifty-GUI and TWL, but i dont like the XML part, and the documentation was poor...

What happens when you try? What about `java.awt.Button`? Why not an adjacent panel or modeless dialog? — trashgod, Sep 16 '12 at 14:01

Adding a javax.swing.JButton to a java.awt.Canvas used for Display may be subject to rendering artifacts. Instead, try one of the following alternatives:

Add the button to a JPanel, as shown here. Put your Display in a Canvas, as shown here. Put both in a suitable layout, e.g.
```
add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER;
add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
```
Control your Display using components in a modeless dialog, illustrated here.
