Does Java (swing) have a such button?

Question

At example libre office has button with drop down menu, but it isn't combobox:

Button Snapshot

Does Swing have analog or something similar?

It's a SplitButton. Take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11646290/splitbutton-in-java — Jonathan Drapeau, Mar 06 '13 at 13:46

There's no SplitButton implementation provided by Java. I provided a link to another question on this site in my comment on potential implementations and would add that Jidesoft has also an implementation of a SplitButton in their open source JIDE Common Layer, check the licenses first.

Not directly, but you can easily achieve it by wrapping an ImageIcon into a Button. (arrow_down.png is the downwards pointing, black arrow)

button = new JButton();  
button.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/com/icons/arrow_down.png")));  
button.setBorderPainted(false);  
button.setFocusPainted(false);  
button.setContentAreaFilled(false);

I think that the question is about the drop down menu of the button and not the icon in the button?! – strauberry Mar 06 '13 at 13:45
