EII Commons
The EII Commons is a repository of EII code that has been written, collected and found generally useful over the years. A large portion of it is Swing components and utilities, but there are some other pieces too. The large pieces currently in place are:

• an Eclipse-like view framework for Swing
• a sortable table model and corresponding sortable JTable
  
• a set of masked edit controls
  
• a wizard framework (i.e. "< Back", "Next >", "Finish", "Cancel")
  
• a print preview widget that works with any Pageable
  
• various tree, table, and list utilities
