Just like in Outlook, a slider on the left opens and closes menu options
http://blue-walrus.com/2011/02/expandable-text-area-in-swing/
This component is a text area which has a special bottom right corner. When a user hovers over this corner, it can be dragged, and the whole component can then have its size readjusted. You see this component a lot in web pages.

It's a standard JTree with a textfield on the top. As the user types in the textfield, the tree branches are filtered. Quite common in IDEs like Eclipse.
