slanted textfield

Hi,

I'd like to develop a JComponent that would display slanted (i.e. diagonally).

Displaying the text within that comp is not the hard part - Java 2D supports that fairly well.

The issue is slanting the component itself - e.g. a JTextField that can display diagonally and still respond to user clicks (within its diagonally bounded area). This is where the Java-Swing API is lacking in my opinion...

Any recommendations as to the best way to go about this?

thanks.
