Is it possible to have a JTextField with a drop-down list similar to the implementations of search via different engines?

I'm trying to deliver table column filtration and addition/removal via a such a component.

An editable JCombobox has a JTextField as editor, so that is very close to what you want. You can combine this with autocompletion functionality (e.g. by using SwingX which allows to decorate a combobox and making autocompletion a one-liner)

JComboBox gives you the flexibility of a TextField and a List.

Eg:

JComboBox<String> combo = new JComboBox<String>();
combo.setEditable(true);

setEditable(true) will make the JComboList behave editable like textfield.
