Hi there
It's been a while since you posted this issue but here is one sulotion that could help you or any body else
xySlider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, -40, 90, 0);
        ySlider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, -40, 90, 0);
        xTSlider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 99, 0);
        yTSlider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 99, 0);
        Hashtable labels = new Hashtable();
        labels.put(new Integer(-40), new JLabel("1/5"));
        labels.put(new Integer(-30), new JLabel("1/4"));
        labels.put(new Integer(-20), new JLabel("1/3"));
        labels.put(new Integer(-10), new JLabel("1/2"));
        labels.put(new Integer(0), new JLabel("1"));
        labels.put(new Integer(10), new JLabel("2"));
        labels.put(new Integer(20), new JLabel("3"));
        labels.put(new Integer(30), new JLabel("4"));
        labels.put(new Integer(40), new JLabel("5"));
        labels.put(new Integer(50), new JLabel("6"));
        labels.put(new Integer(60), new JLabel("7"));
        labels.put(new Integer(70), new JLabel("8"));
        labels.put(new Integer(80), new JLabel("9"));
        labels.put(new Integer(90), new JLabel("10"));
        xySlider.setLabelTable(labels);
        ySlider.setLabelTable(labels);
        xySlider.setPaintLabels(true);
        ySlider.setPaintLabels(true);better late then never
