JComboBox drop down list border color

The required border size and color is mentioned in javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboPopup

instantiated in javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboBoxUI

; and unfortunately that is not directly accessible.

One of the approach would be:

1. subclass BasicComboPopup - here you'll simply set the derived class's border to desired one.

2. subclass BasicComboBoxUI - here you'll override createPopup (to return derived BasicComboPopup object) and createUI (to return derived BasicComboBoxUI object)

3. make a call to target JComboBox's setUI to set new instance of derived BasicComboBoxUI object.

Caution:

1. This approach will be implementation specific, for more generalized result try creating your own look and feel.

2. May need to tweek some more code to get final output.
