Simon:

BorderLayout does not allow you to change the size of the components
that are inside of it (nor does GridLayout, FlowLayout or
CardLayout).  The whole purpose of layout managers is to allow the
rules for the manager to determine sizing and placement of components
within a container.  Some layout managers will look at preferred size
and honor it if possible.  Border is not one of those, however.

You can do this with XYLayout and GridBagLayout.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will

a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
