JComboBox doesn't support multiple selection. JMenu does. But JMenu seems to be designed only for going in JMenuBars, which are in the top section of the frame. Sure, you CAN put the JMenu/JMenuBar elsewhere, but it tends to look really bad in most LnFs.
So how can I get something in a random part of my JFrame that LOOKS nice like a JComboBox but allows MULTIPLE selection like a JMenu?
I don't want a JList, which doesn't drop down and looks like crap.
