Note that the only layoutManagers that have a setContraints method are GridBagLayout and borland.jbcl.layout.PaneLayout; for any others, you need to remove the component and then re-add it (for many layoutManagers you only need to re-add it) with the new constraint. Be sure to call validate on the container after doing any of the above in order to see your results.
