public class JProgressBar
extends JComponent
implements SwingConstants, Accessible

A component that, by default, displays an integer value within a bounded interval. A progress bar typically communicates the progress of some work by displaying its percentage of completion and possibly a textual display of this percentage.

To indicate that a task of unknown length is executing, you can put a progress bar into indeterminate mode. While the bar is in indeterminate mode, it animates constantly to show that work is occurring. As soon as you can determine the task's length and amount of progress, you should update the progress bar's value and switch it back to determinate mode.

Here is an example of creating a progress bar, where task is an object that returns information about the progress of some work:

progressBar = new JProgressBar(0, task.getLengthOfTask());
progressBar.setValue(0);
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);

Here is an example of updating the value of the progress bar:

progressBar.setValue(task.getCurrent());

Here is an example of putting a progress bar into indeterminate mode, and then switching back to determinate mode once the length of the task is known:

progressBar = new JProgressBar();
...//when the task of (initially) unknown length begins:
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
...//do some work; get length of task...
progressBar.setMaximum(newLength);
progressBar.setValue(newValue);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(false);

For complete examples and further documentation see How to Monitor Progress, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
