I remember seeing a tutorial on Sun's site that had a class for a digital-like display, but I can no longer find it.

How would you make numbers appear like a digital clock, using Swing?

You mean something like this?

Or possibly more old school?

Have a look at the Harmonic Code Blog, the guy writes has provides a library called the Steel Series which does these components and many more.

This entry shows of some of his clock / round gauges components. However its best to see his components in action - he provides 2 webstart demos of his components

• Standard Steel Series (direct link to webstart app)
• Extra Steel Series (direct link to webstart app)

There is no such class in Java.

That being said, if you're in Swing, you can adjust the Font settings for the text to a more digital look. On a website, you'd do it with CSS, etc.

I found this tutorial for constructing a 7 segment display component in Java. Unfortunately it's in German. Here's Google's translation.
