Create a vertical toolbar

   
import javax.swing.JToolBar;

    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar(null, JToolBar.VERTICAL);
    // Get current orientation

Create two toolbars

   
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

Determining When a Floatable JToolBar Container Changes Orientation

   
import javax.swing.JToolBar;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
    toolbar.addPropertyChangeListener(new java.beans.PropertyChangeListener() {
      public void propertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
        String propName = evt.getPropertyName();
        if ("orientation".equals(propName)) {
          Integer oldValue = (Integer) evt.getOldValue();
          Integer newValue = (Integer) evt.getNewValue();
          if (newValue.intValue() == JToolBar.HORIZONTAL) {
            System.out.println("horizontal orientation");
          } else {
            System.out.println("vertical orientation");
          }
        }
      }
    });
  }
}

Get ToolBar Properties

   
import javax.swing.JToolBar;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class GetToolBarProperties {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
    String classID = toolbar.getUIClassID();
    System.out.println(classID);
    String className = (String) UIManager.get(classID);
    System.out.println(className);
  }
}

Highlighting Buttons in a JToolbar Container While Under the Cursor

   
import javax.swing.JToolBar;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    // Create a horizontal toolbar
    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
    // Get current rollover mode
    boolean b = toolbar.isRollover();
    // Enable rollover mode
    toolbar.setRollover(true);
  }
}

If the toolbar is to be floatable, it must be added to a container with a BorderLayout.

   
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JToolBar;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    // Add the toolbar to a frame
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
    frame.getContentPane().add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}
