<h3>E.G. BookMarkField.java</h3>
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
class BookMarkField {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JPanel addressComponent = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(4,4));
                addressComponent.setBackground(Color.white);
                addressComponent.setBorder(new TitledBorder("Address"));
                JTextField address = new JTextField("http://pscode.org/", 20);
                addressComponent.add(address);
                JPanel buttons = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,2,3,3));
                JButton subscribe = new JButton("S");
                subscribe.setToolTipText("Subscribe to this page.");
                buttons.add(subscribe);
                JButton bookmark = new JButton("B");
                bookmark.setToolTipText("Bookmark this page.");
                buttons.add(bookmark);
                addressComponent.add(buttons, BorderLayout.EAST);
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, addressComponent);
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}Of course, use icons in place of the <tt>S</tt> & <tt>B</tt> button texts! (Batteries sold separately.)
