How to modify JColorChooser component?

Question

Hi is there any way to remove* swatches Tab AND preview pane/area from the JColorChooser.
I want only the HSB and RGB tab only... I also want to know if it is removed will i be able to use default listeners.
I also want to draw a color circle / color wheel in java! Is there any default component or any toturial available? [By color circle / color wheel i mean a circular form of the slider found on the HSB tab] If not color circle at least how to generate the color Band on which the slider slides in HSB tab?
Please can u help?
